Green Arrow: The second Federal edition

Federal Comics' first one-shot Green Arrow issue was published c.April 1983, and the second followed over a year later c.August 1984:

The cover is adapted from Detective Comics #521:

Some elements of the cover were removed eg. the batsignal, and there is certainly some extra linework on the Federal cover eg. the bricks in lieu of the batsignal, the third motion line near Green Arrow's elbow, the rock behind the DC blurb. Some elements are also rearranged eg the rat on the bottom right and the open tin can. The Battling Bowman subtitle has also been added - I'm not sure what this is based on, and it may be a Federal concoction.

The original cover is also notable for being one of the very few covers since Detective Comics #27 not to feature Batman.

Whilst the previous Green Arrow issue mined the backup features from World's Finest Comics, this issue is virtually wholly based on the Detective Comics instalments, beginning with the first entry in the 4-year-long run. The exception is the Black Pirate feature - I don't know why it was included in this issue.

And if you're reading the list of story titles with the excessive parentheses and thinking this is likely  one messed up issue, well, let's just say there's some Newton-standard editing herein.

Many of the Green Arrow shorts have amended titles as Federal added their own chapter numbering to the original instalments. Having said that, the first story has not been amended as Chapter 1, even though subsequent instalments suggest it should have been. The main adjustment to this story is that the next issue advisory has been omitted, which occurs in many of the stories in this issue.

The second story is renumbered. This is the original splash page of Automatic Pirate!:

And this is the amended splash page in the Federal version:

The Chapter font used here is the same for all the amended chapters.

This is the original last page of Automatic Pirate!:

And this is the Federal version without The End:

Also note the image of Hi-Tek on the screen in the first panel is omitted in the Federal version, no doubt due to the absence of black linework.

The splash page to Mob Rule III: The Irresistible Rise of Machiavelli is omitted in the Federal printing. This is the missing page:

The End advisory is included at the end of this three-part story in the Federal version.

Getting Up was originally a 3-part story. The Federal version is presented as a single 18-page story. 

The first 7 pages are reprinted intact as per Detective Comics #527, without the Next Issue blurb.

Following these 7 pages are 6 of the 7 pages of the next instalment from Detective Comics #528, sans the splash page: 

This is the final page of Getting Up II: Poisoned Art:

This page has been modified in the Federal edition:

The panels have been reduced, rearranged and reordered on the page, and some elements also modified. Two panels have been inserted between the fourth and fifth panels of the original page.and the next issue blurb is omitted.

The panels not native to page 7 of Getting Up II: Poisoned Art are from the second page of Getting Up III: Lost in the Ozone from Detective Comics #529:

The second panel from this page is omitted from the Federal version.

This is the missing splash page to Getting Up III: Lost in the Ozone:

Survival of the Fittest is a 21-page three-part story presented as two chapters in the Federal edition. This is the last page from the first instalment in Detective Comics #530:

This is the version published in the Federal edition:

The integrity of the page design has been maintained, however the large third panel is different - because it is adapted from the splash page to Survival of the Fittest II: Shelter from the Storm! from Detective Comics #531:

The remainder of this instalment is reprinted intact apart from the Next Issue blurb. 

This is the splash page to Survival of the Fittest III: Soft Targets! from Detective Comics #532:

This instalment has been retitled Soft Targets! Chapter 2:

Beyond the two one-off Federal issues many of the Green Arrow backup features - in particular those originating in World's Finest Comics - can be found as support features in various Murray and Federal series and issues.
