The Green Hornet #11
In "A Memory of Death," the Green Hornet's legacy takes a sharp turn as past betrayals resurface. Six years after a failed assassination attempt on D.A. Scanlon, the man who once vowed revenge—Arlan Mitchell—breaks free from prison, reigniting a long-buried threat. With the new Hornet uneasy about the Black Stinger, a high-tech gunship now part of their arsenal, and Britt tracking down Scanlon to a remote cabin, old wounds and new dangers collide. The story unfolds with quiet tension and escalating stakes, setting the stage for a confrontation that reaches far beyond the present moment. Written by Ron Fortier, illustrated by Mark Heike with inks by David Mowry and vibrant colors by Holly Sanfelippo, Kelly Kinsey, and Suzanne Dechnik, the issue’s cover by John K. Snyder III captures the weight of what’s to come.

May 20, 1971: Green Hornet II pretends to muff an attempt to assassinate D.A. Scanlon, to set up the man who "hired" him to do it, Arlan Mitchell. Two months later he is convicted and threatens to make Scanlon pay, "No matter how long it takes!" "The present": Six warriors break Mitchell out of prison. One week later: Hayashi shows Paul the "latest addition to the Green Hornet's arsenal," a high-tech helicopter gunship called the Black Stinger, but the young man doesn't think it is the least bit appropriate to their operation, especially as it required letting a pilot in on the secrets. Hayashi's replies are less than adequate as responses to Paul's stated concerns. Furthermore, the newest Hornet reveals that he had hoped Mishi's departure would "end this game." Meanwhile, Britt has gone to see old friend Scanlon, only to have the retired D.A.'s wife inform him that Frank has already left to meet Britt at his mountain cabin in New Hampshire, as someone from the publisher's office had called and arranged. Reid makes a quick excuse to Alice, but, aware of both Mitchell's recent escape and long-ago threat, is concerned. Frank arrives at the site, and is met by Mitchell and his mercenaries.
