The Green Hornet #33
In "Obsessive," Paul Reid grapples with the weight of his dual life as the Green Hornet while navigating a sudden, intense connection with Gloria—someone he knows is tied to the past, specifically the late criminal Harry Block. As his music becomes a conduit for inner turmoil, the tension between his public persona and secret identity intensifies, especially after a chance encounter at a party with a woman who might be more than she seems. With the Sentinel reporting a political shift and Sister-Hood now on the move, the stakes rise as the Hornet and Kato track her to a high-rise rooftop, where a deadly standoff tests their resolve. Written by Joan Weis and illustrated by Scott Neely, with inks by Duy Truong and Dan McConnel, colors by Holly Sanfelippo and Andrea Albert, and letters by Andrea Albert, the issue’s cover by Karl Kerschl and Todd S. Tuttle captures the edge of danger and intrigue that defines this chapter.

Paul Reid is at least partially exorcising his personal demons (see recent issues) via his music. At a party following one concert, also attended by a wheelchair-bound but otherwise healthy-appearing Police Commissioner Hamilton, he meets a woman called Gloria, whom he recognizes as Glory, the moll of the late criminal Harry Block. He cannot acknowledge this to her without putting his double identity at risk. There is an immediate mutual attraction, but their respective secret lives makes that a big problem for Reid, who explains it to Hayashi the next morning (a Sentinel front page, "Monday 17 April 1994," mentions that vice mayor Rita Morales Aguilar has become mayor in the wake of the death of Mayor Archibald Lewis). The Green Hornet and his man go out in search of Sister-Hood, and find her, as suspected, on the rooftop of an affluent high-rise apartment building. The fight leads to her holding the Hornet over the edge of the roof, threatening to drop him if Kato approaches. Continued next issue....
