The Green Hornet #6
In "The Wall," a 1992 issue of The Green Hornet, a towering figure from the countryside arrives in the city with a singular purpose: to find the source of his sister’s fatal drug overdose. Written by Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Tod Smith, with inks by David Mowry and colors by Joseph Allen, the story unfolds with raw intensity as this rural man dismantles the city’s drug network with brutal efficiency. The Green Hornet, delayed by the Black Beauty’s absence and driven by a growing need to reclaim his role, watches as the man’s rampage reshapes the underworld—until a final, shocking confrontation leaves the city in upheaval. The cover, by Michael Davis, captures the grim weight of the moment.

An enormous man, sporting rural clothes and speech pattern, appears on the streets and announces that he is looking for drugs. Directed to a pusher, he demands HIS connection and beats the information out of him, dispatching with amazing ease those who come to the dealer's aid. He continues violently up the line of narcotics distribution, and word of him and his actions soon spreads. Before the Green Hornet can intercede (problems caused by the Black Beauty's very distinctive appearance having slowed him down, and strengthened his resolve to replace her), the huge "hick" and a major crime boss have killed each other, the latter's death causing a power vacuum in the city's underworld. The rube, it turns out, was seeking vengeance for the overdose death of his sister who had gone to the city for higher education but become an addict.
