* In 1934, Alex Raymond's comic strip ''ComicStrip/FlashGordon'' introduced Prince Barin's land of Arboria, an entire ''nation'' of [[SendInTheClones green-clad freedom fighting archers living in a vast forest kingdom.]]
* The superhero ComicBook/GreenArrow, debuting in 1941's ''More Fun Comics'' #73, fights crime with {{Trick Arrow}}s and a Robin Hood-inspired costume. He's taken on other elements of Robin at times; he began championing the poor and oppressed in the '60s, and for a brief time at the very end of the ComicBook/PostCrisis continuity he became an outlaw and got his own forest to run around in.
** This carries over into the 2012 TV adaptation ''Series/{{Arrow}}'', and receives a brief lampshade when ComicBook/VandalSavage isn't impressed with Green Arrow and brags that he ''taught'' "Robin of Locksley" how to use a bow. In another episode Ricardo Diaz refers to Speedy as being "dressed like Will Scarlett", and while it's never drawn attention to, it probably isn't a coincidence that the first member of Team Arrow is a big guy called John.
