The Green Archer was a novel written by Edgar Wallace and published in 1923. It was made into a silent serial in 1925, and then a sound serial which debuted on October 1, 1940. The Green Archer wore a mask and a leotard, and went up against a ring of jewel thieves. It may be a coincidence, but DC’s character Green Arrow debuted in November 1941, just a little over a year after the Green Archer’s sound serial was released.
