Green Hornet Comics #2
In "The Numbers Racket," Britt Reid, the Green Hornet, investigates a shooting at a tourist camp that sets off a chain of events tied to a powerful legislative push for industry regulation. With the suspect named Tasker linked to a shadowy operation, the Hornet must unravel a web of influence before the bill is crushed — all while the stakes rise in the streets of 1941. Written by Fran Striker and illustrated by Bert Whitman Associates, with a cover by Bert Whitman, this issue delivers sharp storytelling and bold art in a classic pulp-era adventure.
