So one of my editors just threw this question at me.

She’s trying to recall the name of a comic book that…

“What was the name of the comic book that featured a female archer, usually wearing green. Hot, blonde and set in a sort of medieval alternate universe. Began with an S I think.”

Anyone got any leads?

Miss Arrowette doesn’t count… Can you give a rough _decade_ here?  
Maybe a company? Anything?
