*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: The Green Hornet is a crime-fighting super-hero originating on American radio in 1936. He has appeared in film serials in the 1940s, The Green Hornet television series in the 1960s, (which co-starred Bruce Lee in his first adult role), multiple comic book series from the 1940s onwards, and a film in 2011. His first comic series from 1940 was initially published by Helnit before being taken over by Harvey with issue #7 in 1942. The Bute Collection boasts two issues from Harvey, both in pretty good shape. The title was an anthology series, featuring Green Hornet covers and stories, plus super-heroes, crime, adventure and a small amount of humour. Many notable creators were involved.
