More Fun Comics #73 is an exceptional Golden Age collectible that made history with the first appearance of Aquaman — along with the first appearance of Green Arrow and his sidekick Speedy! There's also one of the rare comic appearances of Dr. Fate wearing his half-helmet, but that didn't last nearly as long as the impact of those two enduring heroes. The creative team of Mort Weisinger and George Papp were inspired by both Robin Hood and the 1940 movie serial The Green Archer when they came up with the Green Arrow, who'd make it a tradition for every comics line to offer some kind of archery expert. Green Arrow then unexpectedly became a counter-culture star at the start of the '70s after Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams put him on the road with Green Lantern for a series of socially relevant comics. (The team also ensured Speedy's place as a DC icon by bringing him into the storyline as a heroin addict.) In the 21st Century, of course, Green Arrow went on to anchor the CW Multiverse in the long-running Arrow show. Aquaman, of course, also enjoyed a big-screen renaissance. With the recent retirement of Jason Momoa from the Aquaman role, fans are eagerly anticipating what's next for both of these beloved characters as James Gunn launches his DC Extended Universe.
