Comics 1 reprise | Green Arrow quote sourced
In a post from 2010 I mentioned a quote from the Green Arrow comic that has stuck with me. I ran across that post and was motivated to see if I could find the panel. I haven't found the panel, but I found the citation that will make finding the panel trivial:
- The DC Comics Wikia entry for the Green Arrow(proceed to footnotes 18 and 19 where the name of Zen Master Jansen is mentioned
- DC Comics Wikia entry for Zen Master Jansen
- the quote:"You must wait, with no thought of self, until spiritual forces work through you to release the shaft. The shot must fall from the archer like snow from a bamboo leaf before he even thinks of it."
- Reference to Flash Volume 1 issue 219, the issue in which the Green Arrow story "The Fate of the Archer" appears as a secondary offering, in January of 1973.
On that date I was actually seven years old. I would turn 8 in late March of that year. My mom's diary notes that I was a reluctant reader until I found comic books. It's amazing that this story would have stuck with me so very deeply.
