The Man Behind The Mask; Johnny Dollar begins his auction of the Green Hornet's identity; His responses to a couple of general challenges from prospective bidders are so suspiciously lame, it's a miracle none of the assembled racketeers pursues the matter further; The captive Paul tries to convince Glory that Dollar is wrong about him, mentioning among other things the potential damage to his concert pianist's hands (a consideration which should have given rise to objections during this feature's development); The bidding, primarily between Jeremy Fletcher and Helen Stefanopoulos (the latter as the authorized representative of her father, Constantine), reaches ten million. David Letterman-esque "top ten" list to promote the Kato graphic novel, followed by an ad for Syphons. 36 pages, full color. $1.95. Cover price $1.95.

Best Served Cold; Mei Li, with a mechanical claw grafted to her wrist in place of the hand disabled by the Crimson Wasp's sword (in #28), gathers four warriors of the tong to be her personal instruments of vengeance, the Teeth of the Dragon, whom she arms with special weapons fashioned by the same person responsible for her new "hand"; When one starts to make a mild protest about the tong, she immediately kills him; Britt calls Mishi, Paul, and Hayashi to a meeting about a personal ad taken out in the Sentinel, reading, "CW: We have unfinished business; The Wasp will lose her sting on the night of the full moon near the Mistress of the Tiger. ML."; With the elder Reid's knowledge that the local zoo has brought in a tiger for breeding purposes, and the fact that the moon will be full in two days, all is clear. 36 pages, full color. $2.50.

Fighting Tooth And Claw; As Mei Li is about to finish off the Crimson Wasp, the Green Hornet and his assistant intrude, with Kato throwing two darts into Li's claw that, much to her surprise, deactivate it; As the masked men battle the tong warriors, the two women's fight carries them away from the others; An electrical blast from the claw causes the Wasp to fall into the tiger pen, and to seeming certain death (would Mishi really sacrifice her own life rather than kill the zoo's property with her sword, as she easily did Mei Li's pet/guard-attack tiger in their original encounter?), but a pony-tailed young man garbed identically to Kato swings over the pen on a line, grabs the Wasp and pulls her to safety!; The mask notwithstanding, she immediately recognizes her nephew Kono, sends him to help their kinsman and the Hornet while she goes after the villainess, assuring the other she won't underestimate that claw again. Two-page blow-up of this issue's front cover art. 36 pages, full color. $2.50. Cover price $1.95.

The art for the front cover, blown up to a two-page spread. 36 pages, full color. $2.50. Cover price $2.50.
