Design of the Week--The Green Hornet Fights Crime!

Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another!

With the release this week of the first new Green Hornet comic in almost 20 years, we're proud to present our own contribution to the growing buzz over the revival of the classic character...a kool montage-style cover from 1947's Green Hornet Fights Crime #37 featuring an unmasked Britt Reid!
Unlike most superheroes who seldom (if ever) appear unmasked on covers, The Green Hornet did it three times during his 47 issue Golden Age run!

Available on t-shirts, messenger bags, mugs, and other kool kollectibles, this particular cover isn't on our main product line of Classic Green Hornet collectibles, so pick it up now, before it goes back into the nest!

Yes, this is the legendary "headlights" cover Dr. Wertham complained about in Seduction of the Innocent!

BTW, did we mention that ALL these covers (and six more) are available on our Classic Phantom Lady 2010 12-Month Calendar? ;-)

Some of my favorite Golden Age Green Hornet covers from my collection...

The final issue of his Golden Age run, a one-shot from Dell Comics!

Issue #33, featuring his primary 1940s weapon, the Gas Gun!

Issue #31, with both the Hornet and Kato dashing to the rescue!

Issue #13, in Berlin against the Nazis!

Issue #43, "typical" 1940s teens and 'tweens talk about the Hornet! Gosh!

Issue #29, a powerful symbolic cover (and the first Golden Age comic I owned)!

And, finally, the first issue of The Green Hornet Comics from Holyoke (who published issues 1-6)
Note he's wearing the same outfit in the first and final issues and a modified version on the issues in-between! And they're the only painted covers of the entire run!

BTW, did we mention that ALL these covers (and five more) are available on our Classic Green Hornet 2010 12-Month Calendar? ;-)
