| Odds are the Hornet stories are adaptations of radio show episodes, but since many of the earlier stories' titles are unknown, it's difficult to ascertain which ones are which |
|
| I recently bought a book titled "The Green Hornet A History of Radio, Motion Pictures, Comics and Televion" by Martin Grams and Terry Salomonson. The authors swear that the information in their book is the truth. They claim The Green Hornet Comics #1 to 4, Racket Buster 43 and 44, and Four Color #496 are the only comics based on radio scripts by Fran Striker. All other comics featuring The Green Hornet contain original stories. |
