It was Uncle E that got me started reading Green Arrow! Literally. He dropped an issue in front of me when I was register jockey at the first comic shop he worked at in podunk Kentucky (by that time he was working at a much larger and nicer store in Tennessee). He dared me to read it and not want to get the back issues afterwards. I was hooked.
It is a good thing he was into comics and not narcotics, cause Elvis was one of the greatest pushers in the history of comics fandom.
