As the Silver Age of Comics turned Bronze, writer Dennis O’Neil and artist Neal Adams took Green Lantern and Green Arrow on a journey into social issues that previous comics had largely avoided. Anthony Letzia (Geek Frontiers) focuses on how Oliver Queen was transformed into a leftist foil to conservative Hal Jordan. Amy DeSuza-Riehm (California State University, Long Beach) examines Green Lantern/Green Arrow ecocritically to contextualize the political message of the narrative. Travis Langley (Batman and Psychology; Spider-Man Psychology) leads a discussion of the O’Neil/Adams storyline’s enduring impact. Travis Adams (Daredevil Psychology) responds.
