	Mike Grell, Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters
		In the 1970s he developed a social consciousness and lost his status as a millionaire, which boosted his popularity considerably, but it was Mike Grell's treatment that launched the character's first monthly ongoing series (which lasted 11 years) and spawned several concurrent miniseries.
		Grell skillfully portrays the humanity of the main characters, which is all too often lacking in superhero comic books.
		Grell also has Oliver abandon the absurd trick arrows that had become Green Arrow's trademark in favor of broadheads, giving the title a more serious tone.

	Interview: Mike Grell
		Grell: Since the films were lost in shipments to printers over the years and the original art was mislaid during a divorce back about a thousand years ago, what we had to do to reconstruct the artwork was to physically strip out the color from existing comic books.
		Grell: Bar Sinister is a group of genetically altered individuals who were created to be villains in the original Shaman's Tears series.
		Grell: At the moment, the best thing in the world they could be, for their own good, is a superhero team.

	Broken Frontier \| The Portal for Quality Comics Coverage!
		It was a typical day in New York City in 1973 when Mike Grell took his portfolio down to the New York Comicon to see if he could garner any interest as a comic strip creator.
		Grell rapidly re-wrote it in his mind and soon, quite possibly the most successful fantasy comic in the history of fantasy comics was born: Warlord.
		Grell would spend the next several years churning out some of the most highly acclaimed fantasy comics in history and cementing his place amongst the comic legends of the 1970s.

	COMICON.com: TARNISHED IRON: MIKE GRELL OFF IRON MAN
		Among Grell's recent contributions to the series were Tony Stark's public revelation his dual identity and the introduction of a Muslim love interest (prior to the events of September 11, 2001).
		Grell's departure from the title is said to be the result of creative differences: Grell's ideas conflicting with those of the editors.
		Grell's run showed promise at times, but it seems in retrospect that maybe he was never allowed to go where he wanted, and the book suffered as a result.

	Comic Book Artist Magazine #8 - Mike Grell Interview - TwoMorrows Publishing
		Mike Grell arrived almost stealthlike onto the comics scene in the early '70s, and after working on numerous DC super-hero strips, the artist established a long-standing niche as creator/writer/artist of Warlord.
		MIKE: No. Not until years later, and in fact, the only conversation at that point was the extent of congratulating him on the hard work he'd done, and thanking him for having created these elaborate character sketchbooks that had served as a basic bible of how to draw the characters.
		MIKE: I was with Warlord for about 50 issues, but for a year or so after that, my then-wife Sharon and I plotted it together, and she would write the scripts and I'd do the covers.

	Jayme Lynn Blaschke's Unofficial Green Arrow Shrine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Mike Grell derisively refers to this project as "The Butcher, the Baker and the Candlestick-Maker." One of the biggest disappointments to come along in a long time, issue one is simply impossible to follow.
		Instead of a straight collaboration, Grell and Baron worked tag-team: Baron handled issues 1, 3 and 5, while Grell penned 2, 4 and 6 (incidentally, their pay was divided according to the sales of their issues).
		Grell and Baron worked to sharpen the focus in later issues, but the damage had already been done.

		Grell: Not really, because over the years I've evolved the character while developing first the novel and then the screenplay I wrote.
		Grell: It's a real kick to be going back to my favorite character again and to work once again with my old friend Mike Gold who's editing the books.

	Comics Fairplay: Creator Creep Squad #1- Mike Grell
		Grell didn't show the first two times, and we didn't realize it until we got there.
		Anyway, sorry to hear about Grell, I had a piece of his art from an old Green Lantern/Green Arrow that is one of the few comic related things I have lost over the years.
		I wish Grell could have followed his example, because if a famous guy like Gaiman can be a professional and is setting the standard, there is no reason why these others can't.

		Sable creator Mike Grell probably wrote the novel to create traction for a Jon Sable movie, as evidenced by the cover blurb "soon to be a major motion picture", but that movie never materialized (though I think there was a brief TV series).
		Mike Grell once referred to himself as a "storyteller" and he proves it here with his first novel.
		Grell is a very talented writer, providing extremely vivid and powerful descriptions of places as diverse as the African bush, New York City, and New England.

	Pop Thought -- Alex Ness
		Mike Grell is a talented creator who, for some reason, has always intrigued me. I liked his writing, and found his art to be interesting, even when not to my particular taste.
		But also, while I respected Mike Grell’s talent, he represented to me a creative talent who I had no real feel for.

		Yesterday I was looking through the 12th edition of the LEGION ARCHIVES with all those issues from the mid-70s that were drawn by Mike Grell.
		Grell's work was raw, but very energetic and exciting to see.
		It's a hoot to draw the character-- and especially with the hair styles and mutton chops that were so prevalent in 1970's comics characters.
