The Green Hornet: Parallel Lives #2

Dynamite's Green Hornet: Parallel Lives #2 presents a striking cover by Paul Renaud, featuring a masked, bowler-hatted Green Hornet in the foreground leveling a distinctive gas gun at the viewer, while a younger, similarly masked figure stands ready behind him — the two generations of the Hornet legacy side by side against a bold red-and-white backdrop. The Black Beauty muscle car anchors the composition at the bottom, grounding the duo in their signature style. Writer Jai Nitz and artist Nigel Raynor's multigenerational take on this pulp hero was timed perfectly to coincide with the character's return to theaters in early 2011, making this 2010 issue a fine snapshot of the Green Hornet at full momentum.
