I guess it's Ollie's birthday today.

43(Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters #2)

44(Green Arrow(1988) #10)

45(Green Arrow(1988) #21)

47(Green Arrow(1988) #51)

Ollie missed his birthday while traveling the world because Dinah wasn't there to remind him.

48(Green Arrow(1988) #63)

By the end of Grell's run, he was probably 49, but without Dinah in the end of the run, he just didn't catch on to that.

ok im deleting my pointlessly confrontational tags and just making my own post: its always so weird to see people count Longbow Hunters and TKJ as like. TKJ is so awful and Longbow Hunters is so good when like. Both used a woman being hurt to make a man sad. Both cared way more about the male heroes than the female heroes.

The only difference is that Alan Moore did not write the follow-up to Babs being hurt so we got actual focus on her and her feelings, and her calling out the various characters and sexist writers, but the person in charge of writing Dinah's follow up was the same guy who wrote her being hurt make a man sad, and it shows so very very much.

Found it, and it was actually an interview I've seen before.

Before that he even goes on about how he never made Dinah lose her Canary Cry, to him superpowers just didn't exist in his world.

"I never considered myself bound to the continuity of other writers, whatever they were doing." - Mike Grell

One thing that stayed with me when I did a review over Ollie and killing is that Ollie only starts killing casually in issue 11 of Grell's run, which is, as we learn later, when Shado r him. (Sometimes I just don't feel like writing that word)

It's as if it broke him.

Tho Grell wrote Ollie choosing to kill in Longbow Hunters earlier to write things in his own way(he did that aware of the last O'Neil/Adams GL/GA story), he would take 11 issues before actually writing Ollie going all out.

2 others things to notice here:

Notice how Grell did not ignore previous characterization and stories, he just created an event to justify the changes. Very different from how many writers do.

Grell's GA killing is just part of his style, even Black Canary and The Question were killing. At the same time Grell wrote The Question in his The Brave and The Bold killing, O'Neil's Question wasn't killing. Grell has multiple times stated that part of his agreement to write Green Arrow was that it would happen on Earth-Grell. (Unfortunately, the source for this is a followr on fb that heard Grell saying it in person, so no online sources, if you have any source for this, please share).

The treatment of female characters between Longbow Hunters + Hunters Moon and TKJ is really not that different.
