Season 5 Cover Countdown: Green Lantern/Green Arrow #107

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 107 days left until Arrow Season 5, considering The CW just announced an October 5 premiere date.

Here’s today’s entry.

Green Lantern/Green Arrow #107

Do you know how hard it was to find a good Green Arrow cover featuring Oliver Queen with a #107 on it?

In any event, Green Arrow kind of takes a supporting role on the cover of Green Lantern/Green Arrow #107 from August 1978. The cover is apparently by Joe Staton who did some fantastic work on E-Man and Guy Gardner. Perhaps now that Superman is allowed on Supergirl, we’ll be allowed to see Hal Jordan/Green Lantern on Arrow? Please?

107 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.
