With 90 days to Arrow Season 5, we look at another classic Green Arrow comic book cover. Season 5 Cover Countdown: Green Arrow #90

Every year on GreenArrowTV’s Twitter feed and Facebook page, we’d count down to the new season’s premiere with a classic Green Arrow-related comic book cover. After all, it was the comic books that inspired the TV series to begin with.

Since there had sometimes been confusion about the covers without any context, this year we’re going to describe the comic book covers that we are showing. The issue numbers on the comics will correspond to the number of days left before Season 5 begins. For example, there are 90 days left until Arrow Season 5, considering The CW has announced an October 5 premiere date.

Here’s today’s entry.

Green Arrow #90

This era of the Green Arrow comic books saw Oliver Queen in a crossroads in his life. It was after the Mike Grell era but before the Chuck Dixon/Connor Hawke period for the character. This issue also tied in to that month’s Zero Hour crossover.

90 days are left to the Arrow season premiere – be sure to come back daily for more countdown posts! Past “Cover Countdown” posts can be found here.
