Cover art by Neal Adams. Destiny: The Origin of the Green Hornet, script by James Van Hise, pencils by Dell Barras, inks by John Stangeland; An aging Britt II walks through the family library, stopping to look at a scrapbook, and specifically a preserved Daily Sentinel front page with a headline reading "PROTECTION RACKET MURDERS by Britt Reid." He remembers the story behind it. In 1934, Britt I began working as a crime reporter for the family-owned Daily Sentinel newspaper. A protection racket story leads to his interviewing a grocer about it, when a gun battle between two thug-carrying cars erupts in the street outside. The young man dives for cover, but the businessman freezes, and is killed by wild shots. In the street, Britt finds one of the cars wrecked, its occupants dead. A subsequent discussion with his father, Daniel, leads Britt to the conclusion that the police are incapable of cleaning up the city by themselves, and one man should be able to make a difference. Sometime later, three hoods attempt to kill Britt, who escapes by a combination of daring and luck, which includes their car wrecking and killing them. 36 pgs. $1.95. Cover price $1.95.

Cover art by Dell Barras. "The Burma Horse", Part One: Down And Dirty, script by Van Williams (story premise) and Robert Ingersoll (full plot and script), painted art by Dell Barras; As the second Green Hornet & Kato team break up a drug ring in The City, the senior partner receives a bullet wound to the upper left arm. The injury is superficial, but enough to put him out of action for a while (and to make him think about "retirement"). Hayashi consequently opts to accept a long-standing invitation to visit his family back in Japan and catches a flight "the next day." The two Brits find nothing more interesting in the drug ring's captured records, made available to them by District Attorney Diana Reid (no appearance), than the "reference to something called "The Burma Horse." 36 pgs. $1.75. Cover price $1.75.
