Green Hornet Comics (1940) 36

Cover by Al Avison. Stories and art by Bob Powell, Bill Draut, Buford Tune and Al Avison. The first comic to feature The Green Hornet, the radio-turned-movie superhero from the creator of the Lone Ranger. The Hornet investigates a grisly murder at a steel foundry, and almost gets cast as his own statue. Spirit Of 76 deals with an impostor and two beautiful women at a fancy society party, who each want to use him for their own purposes, in a particularly goofy story. Female private eye (and early action girl) Calamity Jane reveals how a man met his exact double, in a story featuring a cameo by Calamity Jane artist Bill Draut himself. Green Hornet: Molten Justice; Spirit Of 76; The Case of the Floating Body; Snoop and Droop; Dotty Dripple; Calamity Jane: The Man Who Met Himself. 52 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
