Synopsis for "Have Arrow -- Will Travel!"

This story is reprinted from Adventure Comics #263.

When Roy Harper wants a raise on his allowance so that he can buy a boat, Oliver Queen suggests that he go out and get a job and earn the extra money he needs. Deciding to hire out his services as Speedy, Green Arrow's sidekick is hired to test out archery targets. What Speedy doesn't know however, is that people who hired him are criminals and are making casts of the indentations his arrows are making in the targets to make a false arrow head with a bomb inside in the hopes of eliminating both Speed and Green Arrow.

Successfully putting the exploding arrow head on an arrow next time Speedy comes for practice, one of the crooks also takes Speedy's wallet when he drops it on the ground. However, the plot is spoiled when Speedy notices that the arrow he got back did not have red paint on it from the target it hit, and the bomb goes off without harming anyone. Green Arrow and Speedy then capture the crooks, and Speedy's archery skill saves the life of the owner of a boat manufacturing company, who rewards Speedy with the boat he was hoping to purchase.

Trivia

  • The house which would become "Juliet's house" was built by the Cappello during the 12th century, four centuries before Shakespeare's theater piece would be published. It is only during the 19th century, three centuries after Romeo and Juliet's publication, that a link between the house and "the Capuleti", Juliet's family, would be established ; due to the similarity between the name "Capuleti" and "Cappello". The place soon became a popular tourist site. It is only during the middle of the 20th century, however, that "Juliet's balcony" would be built as part of a process of restoration of the place to suit the image of a 16th-17th century house.[1]
