One of the more prominent enemies of this era was Eddie Fyers, a gun-runner who ended up developing a begrudging alliance with Green Arrow. Super villains like Merlyn, Clock King and Count Vertigo were also gone in favor of street-level crooks, gangsters, and drug dealers. Along with his new environs, Green Arrow received an updated hooded costume that complimented his new setting. Instead, he and girlfriend Dinah Laurel Lance, a.k.a. Gone were the trick arrows and costume, as was the Emerald Archer's usual stomping grounds of the fictional Star City. Dark, gritty and far more realistic than Green Arrow's previous adventures, the miniseries took the once gimmicky superhero and cast him in a world not unlike our own. Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters was released in the wake of Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns, and it definitely reflects that tonal aesthetic.
