Double crossed and assumed dead, Oliver Queen drags himself up onto the beach of a deserted island. It turns out he is not alone and both friend and foe will cross paths on this jungle island of misery and intrigue.
Oliver Queen is a man on the move. Looking for adventure, a rendezvous with the latest supermodel, and his next bottle of booze. Will he never tire of trying to make it happen (whatever it is)? Or will he risk everything for those who have nothing?
Our millionaire playboy needs to get out of town fast when he creates a scene at a fundraiser for a drug rehab. It is there that he throws out the winning bid for a longbow once owned by the legendary archer Howard Hill. Leaving with the bow in his hand and his tail between his legs, he decides to travel with his assistant to Fiji where a sketchy business deal is going down. Or so he thinks.
That boat's not heading to Fiji! And Oliver Queen is in for the fight of his life. A fight brought to life in action packed living color. Marooned on a jungle island, will Queen go down in a blaze of glory? Or will our chartreuse hooded hero be a match for the evil China White? Read this compilation to see an ex-playboy with a thirst for justice take on a small army of drug dealers for a target. A fitting target as the legend begins; the legend of the Green Arrow.
