Preview: "Kato: Way of the Ninja"

Preview: Alternate Cover for "Green Hornet: Year One" #2

Francesco Francavilla's "chase" cover for Green Hornet: Year One #2, detailing the origin of the Golden Age Green Hornet.

Note he's wearing the full-face mask from the two movie serials, 

not the "lower-half of face" mask from the original 1940s comics.

Kato, on the other hand, is wearing a mask like the one worn on the 1960s tv series by Bruce Lee!

In the Golden Age comics and movie serials, Kato wore goggles (and a bow tie)!
