The Green Hornet is a superhero created by George W. Trendle and Fran Striker, for a radio show in the United States in the 1930s, which subsequently leaped to other media including film, television (1967 series), and comics. Britt Reid is the owner of the newspaper "Daily Sentinel" where he has access to important information that allows him to know the criminal world and attack them as the Green Hornet accompanied by his bodyguard Kato (who was played by Bruce Lee in the TV series). Reid has ensured that the image of the Green Hornet is an enemy of society, allowing him to more easily infiltrate in criminal organizations.
What does it come from?
From writer Scott Lobdell (Flash, Uncanny X-Men) and artist Anthony Marques (Vampirella, Red Sonja) comes the return of the Green Hornet! The Green Hornet and Kato have met their fair share of villains over the years, but when an alien infant crashes to Earth, the two heroes must keep him safe from a whole new type of nemesis. Are they prepared to take on a series of dark and deadly enemies willing to stop at nothing and do whatever it takes to save the child?
