Oliver Queen and Cernunnos, the Horned God in Green Arrow (1988) #26
#oliver queen#ollie queen#green arrow#edits#my edits#if Ollie didn't want me to use typewriter fonts for every edit of him he wouldn't have used one on page#anyway I changed Cernunnos from the purple he is in the comics to the same Green as Ollie's tunic in both panels because I wanted to#highlight the connection between them that their interactions in this issue seeks to establish#not just the connection established by Sherwood Forest and the Robin Hood mythos#but also in the sort of idea of them both as guardians of the forest and of what it means to be wild#of Cernunnos both as a part of Ollie that is released into the forefront of his subconscious when he's drugged but also as someone for whom#Ollie shoots an arrow in thanks#but also Cernunnos as a figure who appears after that thanks wearing a tunic that is very similar to Ollie's own#of Ollie's professions of atheism and his desire to thank a deity#the kindness both he and Cernunnos show to Rowan- the understanding that she is doing her part in their care of the wild#also like very very fun fact- Grell actually used the ancient Irish festival of Samhain as the 'druid' new year in this comic and Samhain#is historically when the LBA Irish would celebrate the new year with the coming of winter#but yeah#really wanted to sort of establish and strengthen that connection this issue places between Ollie and Cernunnos because I think it's a#really underrated part of the Grell run#and like i get it#it's kind of a silly arc where Ollie gets drugged with LSD and goes to Sherwood#but there's some really great character analysis in here and I like it#even if I hate druids- and would physically fight the leaders of pretty much every modern druidic organization#and they'd DESERVE IT
