Soft cover. Condition: New. Procopio, Ruben (illustrator). New condition glossy color illustrated softcover wraps. Includes Acknowledgments; Introduction: Reflections on The Green Hornet by Van Williams; Afterword by Dean Jeffries and Author Biographies. Illustrated with black-and-white drawings. "Moonstone is proud to present The Green Hornet Chronicles, the first anthology featuring all-new, original crime fiction tales of the man who hunts the biggest of all game, public enemies that even the FBI can't reach! It's the mid 1960s, the political climate is shaky, there's civil unrest, freedom and equality issues erupt everywhere from film to music to out in the streets. On police records, The Green Hornet is actually a wanted criminal, a master manipulator, a crime boss who has his fingers in every pie. In reality, The Green Hornet is actually Britt Reid, owner-publisher of the Daily Sentinel. His goal is to destroy crim from within by posing as a criminal himself." - from the rear outer cover.
