The Green Hornet

This Now Comics incarnation of the Green Hornet is a masked crimefighter operating within a legacy framework, sharing the mantle with figures like Britt Reid and Paul Reid — suggesting a generational passing of the vigilante identity across the series.

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.
