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)!

Costume Comparison--Sonia Rolland IS Lea Parker

Lea Parker was a French tv & graphic novel series about a kick-ass female special agent rather like Sydney Bristow on Alias.
Ran two years from 2004-06 and starred Sonia Rolland (a former Miss France, often called "the French Halle Berry") as Lea. AFAIK, it's never been shown in America, nor have I been able to find copies of the graphic novels.
The image above is the cover of the first graphic novel, which offers a convenient costume comparison.
(I'm not sure which came first, the books or tv series, nor if the books were script adaptations / source material or original / different stories about the character.)
BTW, The back cover photo is flopped. You can tell from the part in her hair. The correct "look" for the right-handed character is below...
You'll also note they gave her a Wolverine-ish hairstyle unlike the normal look of the actress.
If anyone has any additional info, or would like to sell copies of the books or dvds (I have a multi-region player), let me know... ;-)

Costume Comparison: Halle Berry IS Storm!

 In place of my usual pithy prose, the first in an ongoing series of costume comparisons between comic and live-action versions of characters.
First up:
Storm's original Dave Cockrum-designed costume

and the film version as worn by Halle Berry in the first X-Men film.

Ain't it a shame they didn't let her wear the comics version? ;-)

Interestingly, they modified the comics version to somewhat reflect the movie's design...
