The Green Hornet #9

In "Deadline," reporter P. Easton Binney stumbles onto a high-stakes deal between the Green Hornet and underworld kingpin "Buckles" Barbosa, capturing a crucial photo that threatens to derail a secret Witness Protection-style arrangement. As the Daily Sentinel races to publish the story, the tension between press freedom and criminal justice comes to a head, forcing Britt Reid to make a difficult choice—while Binney, ever the dogged journalist, keeps one step ahead on the trail. Written by Chuck Dixon and Tony DePaul, with art by Tod Smith and inks by David Mowry, this 1992 issue features a cover by Val Mayerik.
