Dy-No-Mite Duos Week! Bring on the Back-Ups: Green Arrow and Black Canary by Maggin and Grell


Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! Did'ja realize that this coming Wednesday is the sensational second anniversary of Diversions of the Groovy Kind? Well, it is! And to celebrate two years, Ol' Groove is tossin' out some of his favorite Groovy Age team-ups all week long. Can you dig it? So welcome to Dy-No-Mite Duos week, baby!

To kick things off, here's quite possibly Ol' Groove's favorite Groovy Age dy-no-mite duo, Green Arrow and Black Canary!

    Holy Moley!
    Two years already! We'll sadly I wasn't here from the begining, but I was here I believe like 6-8 months after your first post. I just wish I could remember how I found your site, if someone told me or if I just googled it some how. I don't think anyone told me, because I'd remember & thank them!

    I pass on your site to fans & Pros every chance I get! Congrads! I can't wait to see what's in store for the next year! Happy 2nd Anniversary! Now get back to work! LOL!

    Was there a beginning to the story, or did it start in the middle?
