The origin of Oliver Queen reimagined—gritty, grounded, and unforgettable.

Green Arrow: Year One: DC Compact Comics Edition delivers the definitive modern origin of Oliver Queen in a stylish, portable format. Originally published in 2007, this critically acclaimed miniseries by writer Andy Diggle and artist Jock reboots the Emerald Archer's backstory with cinematic intensity and emotional depth.

Stranded on a remote island after a betrayal, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen must fight to survive—and in doing so, discovers a purpose greater than himself. Armed with only a handmade bow and raw instinct, he takes his first steps toward becoming Green Arrow. This compact edition preserves the full story in a smaller trim size, perfect for new readers and collectors alike.

About the Author

Andy Diggle, known for his sharp dialogue and high-octane plotting, brings a fresh voice to Oliver Queen's transformation. His script balances action, character development, and political intrigue, making Year One one of the most compelling origin stories in DC's modern catalog. Jock, a master of atmospheric illustration, delivers kinetic visuals that pulse with tension and grit. His stylized linework and dramatic compositions elevate the story's emotional stakes and island setting, creating a visceral reading experience. Together, Diggle and Jock craft a tale that's as much about survival as it is about heroism.
