Long a Sci-Fi-oriented hero, Green Lantern had for years spent his time battling threats from outer space, rather than dealing with more down-to-earth matters. By pairing the feisty, Oliver Queen with his straight-laced emerald-clad counterpart, Hal Jordan, O’Neil and Adams set the stage for a new generation of comic-book characters. One year later, these two creators, guided by editor Julie Schwartz combined their efforts in the pages of Green Lantern. Meanwhile, in Justice League of America, Dennis O’ Neil was helping to transform the personality of the Emerald Archer from that of a generic hero into something more edgy, more closely attuned to the heated political climate of the times. In September of 1969, Neal Adams helped to redefine longtime DC hero Green Arrow in The Brave and The Bold # 85, changing the look of the freshly scrubbed do-gooder into that of a hardened veteran of the streets.
