The Green Hornet #9
In "On The Pad Part Two," the Green Hornet and Kato press forward after narrowly saving Captain Thornston, only to find their suspect list growing thinner as each new lead—DEA agent Hamil and a curious janitor’s wife—reveals more confusion than answers. With Mishi settling into her new apartment and Paul piecing together a clue from an unexpected encounter, the duo sets a trap that could finally expose the real mastermind behind the conspiracy. Written by Ron Fortier and illustrated by Jeff Butler, with inks by David Mowry and colors by Suzanne Dechnik and Holly Sanfelippo, this 1990 issue delivers sharp pacing and layered suspense. The cover by Dell Barras captures the tension of the moment with striking precision.

Concluded from last issue: The Hornet and Kato save Capt. Thornston from the ambush, but some of the gang, including leader Jose Truizar himself, escape. As the gang's attempt on the captain's life clears him of being their informant, the masked heroes turn their attentions on the one other suspect, DEA agent Hamil, and pay him a visit, offering him a bribe. However, his reactions are similarly incompatible with guilt, stalling the investigation. Mishi starts moving into her new apartment. A passing encounter with Reid Tower's custodian gives Paul a brainstorm, and a check of the records shows that the wife of the police headquarters' janitor is Truizar's sister. A bug is found, a trap is set, and Truizar and company are rounded up.
