Green Hornet Comics #35

From Harvey Comics in 1947, this issue of Green Hornet Fights Crime catches the masked crimefighter mid-action on a rooftop confrontation, his gas gun blazing as he squares off against a pair of menacing crooks clutching bulging money bags and returning fire. Al Avison's cover art crackles with kinetic energy — the swirling gas cloud and muzzle flashes give the whole scene a wonderfully pulpy urgency. A dime well spent for fans of hard-boiled heroics, with the issue's own story promising more of the same in "The Case of the 'Souvenir Hunter.'
