The Green Hornet

Published by Now Comics from 1989 to 1991, this 15-issue series modernized the classic pulp hero for a new era, centering on Britt Reid and his successor Paul Reid as they take up the mantle of the Green Hornet. Written primarily by Ron Fortier, Dave Darrigo, and Diane M. Piron, with art from Jeff Butler, Tod Smith, and Lenin Delsol, the title expanded the Hornet's world by introducing a second Kato and deepening the legacy of the original crime-fighting duo. It stands as a key transitional work that bridged the character's radio and TV roots with the darker, continuity-driven style of late-80s comics.
