THE JACK KIRBY OMNIBUS VOL. 1 STARRING GREEN ARROW HC<\/strong>
\nWritten by VARIOUS
\nArt by JACK KIRBY and others
\nCover by JACK KIRBY and MIKE ROYER
\nIn 1957, Jack Kirby returned to DC Comics to draw the Green Arrow feature that ran in ADVENTURE COMICS and WORLD\u2019S FINEST COMICS, pitting the Emerald Archer and his sidekick, Speedy, against a plethora of foes. At the same time, Kirby kept busy with work on DC\u2019s mystery titles. These short tales spotlighted extraterrestrials and earthly monsters, nuclear threats and super-intelligent animals, magic wishes gone wrong and cities lost beneath the seas, challenging Kirby\u2019s ever-fertile imagination in every story.
\nNow, for the first time, DC Comics collects all of Kirby\u2019s many stories from the pages of HOUSE OF MYSTERY, HOUSE OF SECRETS, TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED, MY GREATEST ADVENTURE, ALL-STAR WESTERN, ADVENTURE COMICS, WORLD\u2019S FINEST COMICS, as well as a trio of 1940s stories from REAL FACT COMICS.
