Headline typo of the day

From the UGO list of Top 50 "WTF" moments in comics, discussing Speedy and his drug habit:

Sidekick Shoots Arrows and Heroine

Now that would have been a world-changing story. Roy Harper, jealous of Oliver Queen having lost his fortune (and presumably, Roy’s inheritance) and instead spending all his time with a hot chick a decade younger with a thing for fishnet stockings, decides to get rid of the pretty girl in the middle of a melee– a shot just goes wild, and suddenly it’s back to Green Arrow and Speedy, together again. Play it up as a sort of gender-switched Oedipus.

I mean, as long as you’re going to break the Comics Code anyway.

A rumor I just made up has it Gerry Conway actually had this as a story idea, but he later used it when writing for Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
