Green Hornet Comics #31

From Harvey Comics' 1946 run, this issue of Green Hornet Comics features a striking cover by Al Avison showing the Green Hornet himself lunging forward in his signature green trench coat and hat, gas gun raised and ready, with his masked partner in blue charging in from behind. The bold, tiled "Green Hornet" lettering fills the dark background, giving the whole composition an urgent, kinetic energy that perfectly captures the masked crimefighter's dual life — celebrated on the radio and on the silver screen, as the cover itself proudly notes. At just a dime, this 1946 issue with its story "Fishes and Fools" is a fine snapshot of mid-century pulp heroism rendered with confident, clean linework from Avison.
