Dear fellow Flynn fans,
Stan Lee`s adoration of our Hollywood hero has been more than once the topic here on the blog. See: www.theerrolflynnblog.com…
But also Marvel rival DC Comics came up with a character resembling Errol and upped the ante with incorporating some fine Flynn storyline into the birth of superhero The Green Arrow.
Billionaire businessman Oliver “Ollie” Reed fights crime in the streets of his hometown Star City. Dressed like Sir Locksley, he is a marksman with bow and an array of arrows.
Now here Errol Flynn kicks in. The bow is regaled to Reed by none other than Howard Hill, who says it`s the original one he used for the film “The Adventures of Robin Hood”.
When illustrator Neal Adams did a makeover of Green Arrow in the Sixties, the archer looked more errolesque than ever.
A sure hit- can`t miss concept if you ask me.
Enjoy,
