Green Hornet: Year One #6

The sixth chapter of Dynamite's pulpy origin saga plants the Green Hornet front and center in a shadowy alley, his hornet-emblazoned mask and fedora framing a steely gaze as he levels a pistol squarely at the viewer. Kato lurks in the background, masked and ready, nunchaku in hand — a duo that means serious trouble for any criminal operation. Matt Wagner's cover art, both penciled and inked by Wagner himself, captures the noir atmosphere of 2010's most atmospheric retelling of the Hornet's early days with real confidence and style.
