With 88 days left to Arrow Season 5, we present another classic comic book cover featuring Green Arrow! Season 5 Cover Countdown: Justice League of America #88

Every year on GreenArrowTV’s Twitter feed and Facebook page, we’d count down to the new season’s premiere with a classic Green Arrow-related comic book cover. After all, it was the comic books that inspired the TV series to begin with.

Since there had sometimes been confusion about the covers without any context, this year we’re going to describe the comic book covers that we are showing. The issue numbers on the comics will correspond to the number of days left before Season 5 begins. For example, there are 88 days left until Arrow Season 5, considering The CW has announced an October 5 premiere date.

Here’s today’s entry.

Justice League of America #88

An interesting early appearance of the goateed Green Arrow that is definitely old-school in the sidebar, this is an example of one of many Justice League of America covers to feature Green Arrow in the early days. Even characters like Mera made an appearance on the cover of this one!

Trivia challenge: How many of these characters have appeared on Arrow already?

88 days are left to the Arrow season premiere – be sure to come back daily for more countdown posts! Past “Cover Countdown” posts can be found here.
