Green Hornet: Year One #1 To Ship 3 Weeks Early!
Legendary Writer Matt Wagner’s Green Hornet: Year One follows the astounding success of Kevin Smith’s Green Hornet #1!
Following the successful launch of Kevin Smith’s Green
Hornet, Dynamite Entertainment is
releasing Green Hornet: Year One #1 a full 3 weeks early! The very first days of the original
Green Hornet and his faithful sidekick Kato begin under the masterful
hand of writer Matt Wagner and artist
Aaron Campbell! Follow Green Hornet and Kato as they move into the pages
of history and form the ultimate crime-fighting duo!
With a renewed interest in Green
Hornet due to Kevin Smith’s comic book and the upcoming major motion picture starring Seth Rogen, now is the
time to read our Green Hornet comic books! Green Hornet: Year One
features the writing of Matt Wagner, bringing the characters to their
basic roots a la All-Star Superman!
Rooted in the pulp tradition, the original tales of Britt Reid and Kato
begin here! Joining Wagner is artist Aaron Campbell (Sherlock Holmes),
whose stunning recreation of the industrial world of 1930’s Chicago is
sure to wow fans across the globe! Witness the origin of the original
Green Hornet in Green Hornet: Year One #1!
"THE GREEN HORNET stands as one of the prototypes
of the modern super-hero…and yet, surprisingly, the original version
of the character featured no distinct origin tale," says writer
Matt Wagner. "In GREEN HORNET; YEAR ONE, we’re filling in the holes so
that new and old readers alike can finally see and understand what
makes this character such a long-lasting and vital part of American pop
culture!"
"At
long last the Green Hornet and Kato return, not only to their gritty
roots, but in a way that has been lacking since their debut over 70
years ago," adds artist Aaron Campbell. "Matt Wagner’s take on this
iconic duo is sure to set the gold standard for years to come."
"Matt
is the perfect writer to pen this tale. And after seeing Aaron’s art
on Sherlock Holmes, he stood out as the artist that would bring the
right feel to this series. Dynamite is proud to have Matt and Aaron be
the team behind this special series. They are integral to it!" stated
Dynamite President and Publisher Nick Barrucci.
