“Green Arrow is the embodiment of what one person can do. It’s a theme that comes up repeatedly in this book, one that explains why this powerless archer with a chip on his shoulder appeals to so many people. He wasn’t born of the heartbreaking tragedy of a Batman, he didn’t fall from the stars to deliver humanity from evil, nor is his origin wrapped in the fabric of Greek myths and legends. He is a human character that struggles with work, love, loss, darkness, death, and the weight of his own sins. Like the rest of us humans, Green Arrow is flawed, and a perpetually moving target.”
― Richard Gray, Moving Target: The History and Evolution of Green Arrow

“A black hole. The biggest tosser. Magical rogue and gadfly. Scouser. Magician. Wanker. A nasty piece of work. Londoner. That bastard John
Constantine.”
― Richard Gray, From Bayou to Abyss: Examining John Constantine, Hellblazer
