Green Hornet was multi-generational hero in Now Comics series


Posted January 27, 2011 by Matthew Price Comment on this article Leave a comment

The first 12 issues of NOW Comics’ Green Hornet, which were collected in a hardcover collection by Bonus Books in 1990, followed the Green Hornet from the 1930s to the 1960s to the present.

Writer Ron Fortier, with artist Jeff Butler, took the various incarnations of the Hornet – radio show, serial, 1960s program – and weaved them into a cohesive storyline following the legacy of the Green Hornet from generation to generation.

Butler is good at drawing martial arts action – he also co-created The Badger with Mike Baron – and the storytelling is first-rate throughout.
