Green Hornet Comics #9

From October 1942, this Harvey anthology brings the Green Hornet and his partner Kato front and center — literally, as the two masked heroes stare down the reader through what appears to be a circular window or mirror, both armed and ready. A menacing, ape-like villain looms in the foreground with a blade, while a figure lurks in the background and stacks of cash bearing "$50,000" labels sit prominently nearby — all rendered in a vivid, tense cover composition by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon. Inside, Arturo Cazeneuve handles art duties on "The Case of the Metallic Monster," and the sidebar promises additional features including Blonde Bomber, Zebra, Robin Hood, Mighty Midgets, and Spirit of '76, making this a genuinely packed ten-cent package.
