Green arrow year one 15/27/2023 That said, I think Grell was the one who introduced the idea of Oliver being a lifelong Robin Hood fan who was already into archery long before the island, something which even Andy Diggle picked up on for Year One. Its kinda ironic, given that Mike Grell's Green Arrow served as a major inspiration for Amell's portrayal in general, but with this specific story, the two versions are galaxies apart! He's a guy who was forced to rough it out on an island for a few weeks, was bored with his corporate life when he returned, and after foiling a robbery in a Robin Hood costume decides to turn to crime-fighting for excitement. I read Wonder Year a long time ago, back when the first season of Arrow was airing, and I was struck by how different the Oliver in that story was to the character on the show! WY Oliver is no tortured soul returning from "five years in hell" or driven vigilante on a mission to save his city. Wonder Year is largely about his first missions as the Green Arrow (with some island and even pre-island stuff being covered in flashbacks). Year One is about Oliver's time on the island. But I don't think the comparision is quiet justified, since they both cover completely different areas, Year One is the superior story, no doubt.
