The Green Archer Rises Again!
Celebrating 100 years of a great legend!
A Lost Classic Revived: From the Pages of Edgar Wallace to the Comics Page!
Green Archer Comics is proud to announce the launch of THE GREEN ARCHER, a 150-page epic comic anthology based on the 1923 novel by Edgar Wallace, whose best-selling adventure once inspired a wildly popular movie serial.
Co-written by Benjamin Liska (The Press Guardian & The Clock: 1942) and Dr. Anjuli Shere (Johnny Dollar), with art by Dan Butcher (Vanguard), Marc Oliver (Necropolis), Matt Plog (Ghoul Scouts), and Lianna Weidle (Bad Wages), The Green Archer spans centuries of myth, folklore, and action. From the Scottish Witch Trials to WWII Nazi conspiracies, from cyber hackers to the undead hordes of 2100, each Green Archer incarnation must rise to defend Garre Castle—and Scotland itself!
In 1487, The Green Archer was hanged in Scotland. But death would not take him. Instead, he rose as protector of Garre Castle and the people of Scotland, waging a 600-year battle against darkness.
This modern revival brings the legend back into the spotlight with six unforgettable tales, including three all-new 30+ page adventures. Plus, this eternal legend deserves unforgettable covers, featuring variant artists Dan Butcher, Shawn Martinbrough (Thief of Thieves), Sarah Myer (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), Matt Plog, and Annie Wu (Hawkeye). Letters by Dan Butcher and Saida Temofonte (Adventures of Supergirl).
“Revisiting these characters was a thrill—it gave us the chance to not only honor their legacy, but to push the Green Archer’s world and mythology into bold, unexpected places,” said Benjamin Liska.
“At first, writing a Green Archer story inspired by 16th and 17th-century events and injustices felt like a challenge, but the more I dug through sources, the more I felt a responsibility to use the Archer to help readers experience the humanity behind the history,” said Dr. Anjuli Shere. “Working with Lianna was incredible—she instinctively understood the need to anchor the tale in the past while showing that it is about cycles of power, fear, and resistance that continue to exist today.”
Green Archer Comics Publisher, Allan Liska, added, “This is, without question, the most ambitious project we’ve taken on—and it felt only right that our namesake hero receive the treatment he deserves. The Green Archer has captivated generations, and with this campaign, we’re proud to carry that legacy forward for a whole new audience.”
Equal parts myth and pulp, The Green Archer is a time-spanning adventure for fans of Highlander, Hellboy, and The Witcher. It’s both a revival of a nearly forgotten classic and a bold reinvention for a new century.
For the first time, backers can unlock a special tier to watch The Green Archer film adaptation, alongside a brand-new documentary on the character, screened with the creators in a theater!
The Green Archer Kickstarter campaign will run for 21 days, with its print debut at Baltimore Comic Con. Don’t miss your chance to bring this legendary protector back to life!
