Abstract
"Roaring to adventure from the Golden Age of radio, comes one of America's first superheroes--the Green Hornet! The time period is the 1930s and Chicago is ruled by a criminal empire that answers to no one and even holds authorities in an iron-fisted grip. Accompanied by his faithful crime-fighting companion Kato, newspaper heir Britt Reid assumes a mysterious, masked identity in order to combat the criminal corruption that threatens to destroy his city. For the first time ever, the origins and motivations of this classic character are explored and revealed in a story that combines historical accuracy with thrilling pulp drama!"--Cover p. [4].
