| Notes | Painted over (tracings of?) montage of three publicity photos for 1960s Hornet TV show. The b/w reverse is from a generic house ad for NOW's general range of Green Hornet comics, with the background being the (insect) Hornet emblem, with the title logo, taglines "Feel the Sting" and "Every month exclusively from NOW Comics," and a trademark/copyright notice laid over. |

| Characters | Paul Reid [Green Hornet IV]; Hayashi Kato; Diana Reid; Mishi Kato; Britt Reid II; Lenore C. Reid; Danny Reid; Judge Mariotti (I; V) |
| Synopsis | Two months after last issue: Hayashi and Diana discuss the problems Paul has getting past his ordeal with Johnny Dollar. They agree that Mishi, on the other hand, is handling the news that Dollar is still alive (again) quite well, as she is calmly upgrading systems of the car that has replaced "her" Black Beauty. Britt has been receiving threats due to an editorial exposing the corruption of one Judge Mariotti, and his wife and son are now being included. He asks Paul if the Green Hornet can do anything. His response is to go out...alone! The Hornet demands his cut from the judge, who curses the publisher for tipping him as well as the police to his secret activities, and tells the masked man that he has sent some men to finish him. The Hornet "stings" Mariotti into unconsciousness and hurries to the Reid mansion, but four men are already at work. Britt and Lenore are tied to chairs and Danny is being held by one thug. The Green Hornet crashes through a large window, punching, kicking and again punching out three of the hoods, but the fourth points a gun at young Danny's head. A quickly fired blast from the Sting eliminates that threat, but Paul shrugs away thanks from Britt for his son's life: "I nearly got him killed." |

| Notes | In direct response to Gaba, Weis admits that two previously editorially-announced and house-ad promoted spin-off projects, The Black Beauty Special (despite that name, a two-issue miniseries) and Green Hornet Legacy Special (initially announced as depicting, among other things "why Britt II became the second Hornet...the first time he met Hayashi Kato...as well as the [1960s team's] previously unseen first mission," all of which were in fact shown in Green Hornet 1989 series [aka Vol. 1], #s 2 & 3) "have been postponed until further notice." They were never released. |
