Discover Oliver Queen's journey from reckless playboy to humble hero in this definitive Green Arrow origin tale.
Oliver Queen is a frivolous playboy with little care for anyone or anything--apparently even himself. But when he's double-crossed and marooned on a jungle island, he finds that he does care about something: justice! Armed with nothing more than a makeshift bow and arrows, Queen struggles to survive in his new, unforgiving environment—all while battling the violent drug runners who are responsible for his abandonment.
