The character was killed off in the 1990s and replaced by a new character, Oliver's son Connor Hawke. Since then, he has been popular among comic book fans and most writers have taken an urban, gritty approach to the character. In 1970, he was paired with a more law and order-oriented hero, Green Lantern, in a ground-breaking, socially conscious comic book series.

In the late 1960s, writer Denny O'Neil, inspired by the character's dramatic visual redesign by Neal Adams, chose to have him lose his fortune, giving him the then-unique role of a streetwise crusader for the working class and the disadvantaged. Throughout his first twenty-five years, however, the character never enjoyed greater popularity. Green Arrow enjoyed moderate success in his early years, becoming the cover feature of More Fun, as well as having occasional appearances in other comics. At the time of his debut, Green Arrow functioned in many ways as an archery-themed analogue of the very popular Batman character, but writers at DC subsequently developed him into a voice of left-wing politics very much distinct in character from Batman.

Though much less frequently used in modern stories, he also deploys a range of trick arrows (in contemporary times, they are referred as 'specialty arrows' ) with various special functions, such as glue, explosive-tipped, grappling hook, flash grenade, tear gas and even kryptonite arrows for use in a range of special situations. Sometimes shown dressed like the character Robin Hood, Green Arrow is an archer who uses his skills to fight crime in his home cities of Star City and Seattle, as well as alongside his fellow superheroes as a member of the Justice League. He uses this position to hide the fact that he is the Arrow. His real name is Oliver Jonas Queen, a wealthy businessman and owner of Queen Industries who is also a well-known celebrity in Star City. Created by Mort Weisinger and designed by George Papp, he first appeared in More Fun Comics #73 in November 1941. Green Arrow is a fictional superhero who appears in American comic books published by DC Comics.
