In 1987, Mike Grell wrote and drew the three-issue prestige format limited series "". He redesigned the character's costume, away from the costume Neal Adams had designed in 1969, and recast Green Arrow as an "urban hunter" going up against non-super-powered, real world villains such as serial killers, terrorists, street gangs, American mobsters and Japanese Yakuza. He did away with Green Arrow's arsenal of "trick arrows" and instead rearmed him with penetrating broadheads with which he actually killed his opponents. "The Longbow Hunters" showed the first instance in which Green Arrow ever deliberately killed someone.
