Comments:
While this is the first appearance of Green Arrow and Speedy, it is clear that they have been operating as costumed heroes for some time, as Speedy refers to an untold previous adventure entitled "The Case of the Golden Mummy."

Green Arrow’s hair is colored brown in this story. It would later be altered to blond.

This story was not originally titled.

Synopsis:
Green Arrow and Speedy investigate the murders of several members of a history club, whose names are similar to famous historical figures. Their investigation leads them to Ezra Samson, the club treasurer who has embezzled money. They save the lives of two other club members and capture Samson.
