From Brad Meltzer’s celebrated “The Archer’s Quest” storyline comes one of the most meaningful father-and-son moments in modern Green Arrow history. This page captures Connor Hawke questioning whether he should continue using the Green Arrow identity now that Oliver Queen has returned. After humorously suggesting new codenames such as Red Arrow, Longshot, and Shaft, Connor is met with Oliver’s unforgettable response: there should be two Green Arrows.
That exchange makes this a pivotal page in the issue. Rather than reclaiming the mantle for himself, Oliver recognizes Connor as an equal and affirms that the Green Arrow legacy belongs to both of them. It is a defining character moment that reinforces the central themes of The Archer’s Quest—family, redemption, and legacy—and remains one of the standout emotional scenes from this acclaimed run.
Phil Hester and Ande Parks created one of the most distinctive visual interpretations of Green Arrow, and this page is an excellent example of their storytelling. Hester’s expressive facial acting and cinematic layouts, combined with Parks’ bold, confident inks, transform a dialogue sequence into an emotionally powerful scene. The final close-up panels of Oliver and Connor make this a memorable display piece for collectors who appreciate character-driven storytelling.
Adding to its desirability, the original art is signed by inker Ande Parks in the lower right margin, an appealing bonus for collectors of original comic art and fans of this acclaimed creative team.
Green Arrow pages featuring both Oliver Queen and Connor Hawke are increasingly sought after as DC continues to embrace the Arrow Family. This page represents a genuine legacy moment from one of the defining Green Arrow runs of the modern era and is far more significant than a typical dialogue page.
