Green Hornet: Year One

Matt Wagner and Aaron Campbell teamed up for this two-issue Dynamite Entertainment series, which reimagines the early days of the Green Hornet and his partner Kato. Set in the 1930s, Green Hornet: Year One strips the masked vigilante back to his pulp roots, focusing on the gritty formation of his crime-fighting partnership. Wagner’s sharp storytelling and Campbell’s moody, noir-infused art give this brief but potent run a distinctive, cinematic feel that honors the character’s radio serial legacy.
