Cover by Dave Dorman
Upon seeing Page 1, your first reaction will be "That ain't the guy on the cover!"
And you'd be right!
Don't worry, we didn't skip an issue...
Written by Ron Fortier, penciled by Jeff Butler, inked by David Mowry, this tale from NOW's Green Hornet V1N2 (1989) starts in the then-present with a later Hornet, then shifts back in time to the Silver/Bronze Age version seen on TV.
We break off our presentation at the point where the story shifts pencilers.
Writer Ron Fortier stated that the "origin" flashback which followed was created as a fill-in to finish the issue and get it to the printer when Jeff Butler became too ill to work.
The segment was excluded, at Fortier's request, from the reprint collection which continues with the story from #3.
Since this was the writer's suggestion, we're following his editorial wishes in our re-presentation.
We may show that fill-in storyline as a standalone post in the near future.
But next week...more action with Green Hornet II and Kato II!
Let's Roll, Kato!
