An aging Paul Reid is looking at scrapbooks of old Green Hornet newspaper clippings. October 4, 1967: The bombing of a bank announces the debut of a new version of a dead criminal, Inferno. 1949: A madman calling himself Inferno was burning various and apparently unrelated targets. Even as the first Hornet/Kato team closed in on him, another masked hero, the Dark Agent, got there first, and a great explosion seemed to take two lives. Now the name and style are being used by someone else, who seems to strike only financial institutions. At a meeting of crime bosses, the Green Hornet tells the others that he suspects that the cash, securities, etc., are being removed first, and they agree to work together to stop Inferno. A shadowy figure has been watching the meeting, however.
Photographs of NOW's original Green Hornet artist Jeff Butler, Mr. T, NOW's frequent Green Hornet writer Ron Fortier and inker David Mowry, TV Green Hornet actor Van Williams, and fans Scott Heathcote and Michelle Latimer, costumed as Hornet II and Kato III, at various then-recent conventions.
