Sloppy--in page 66, panel 2, the artist stripes The Zebra's legs, which are bare elsewhere.
   By
Prior to Alfred Harvey getting the license to produce Green Hornet comic books, the first six issues were produced by artist Bert Whitman for Helnit. Even prior to that, in 1941 Whitman had drawn 24 daily Green Hornet strips for a proposed newspaper syndicated version, but the 4-week sample continuity was rejected by George W. Trendle of The Green Hornet Inc. What's baffling in this instance is why Trendle rejected Whitman's samples, but later apparently judged his work good enough to approve for Helnit's comic book version. This was the second time samples had been worked up for a proposed Green Hornet newspaper strip -- the first was in 1939 (artist unidentified), which Trendle had again rejected at that time because he was dissatisfied with the artist's depiction of the Hornet as wearing a mask similar to that of the Lone Ranger. A single example of the 1939 proposed strip, and all 24 dailies of Whitman's 1941 sample continuity, can be viewed here: http://martingrams.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-green-hornet-newspaper-strip.html

The Lone Ranger's mask is called a Domino mask, as I discovered while I was idly thinking about a redesign for a mask for a character with Domino in his name. Here are some variations. https://www.etsy.com/listing/162922893/leather-mask-the-spirit-half-domino-mask But the Mask in the strip on that site, is not a domino Mask,so it can't be the original, the one they objected to.

The actual Green Hornet comics were brilliant, but the rest were mediocre in my opinion.

Interesting that on the Zebra story several panels have obvious pasteovers, e.g. story page 3, panel 5 figure; same page, panel 6 figure; page 4 head in panel 3, figures in panels 5, 7, and 8; page 5, head in panel 2, figure in panel 3; page 6, panel 2 and last panel figures; and so on. So many of these involve the Zebra that I wonder what was going on. Possibility 1: the editor was unhappy with Rice/Cazeneuve's version of the hero and had a third artist redraw him (no other characters seem to have been pasted over). Possibility 2: The story was originally drawn for another format (different page count, for example) and some of those panels were pasted into a different storyline. I'm tempted to choose the latter. The wretched art on "Spirit of 76" hasn't been retouched, suggesting the editor wasn't a stickler for great drawing.

This is the first Harvey issue. While Temerson/Helnit/Continental had been adapting stories from the Green Hornet radio show, Harvey will do all-new stories for Green Hornet.
