The Green Hornet

Bursting onto the scene in 1989 courtesy of creators Ron Fortier, Jeff Butler, and Jim Wisniewski, this incarnation of The Green Hornet is a Copper Age gem published by Now Comics — part of a revival that kept the legendary masked crimefighter relevant for an impressive 22-year span through 2011. Spread across titles like The Green Hornet and Tales of the Green Hornet, this character shares the page with a rich ensemble including Britt Reid, Kato II, and Paul Reid, hinting at the layered, legacy-driven storytelling that made Now's run so compelling for collectors. With a key issue among their appearances and a catalog footprint that rewards dedicated hunters, this is a character who represents exactly the kind of passionate, pulp-rooted comics revival that made the late '80s such an exciting time for fans of classic heroes.
