Written by Joan Weis. Art by Patrick Zircher, Dan McConnell, and Jim Brozman. Cover by Scott Neely. Old Wounds; The Green Hornet's discovery that Gloria/Glory is also Sister-Hood requires Paul Reid to back out of his romance with her in a way that won't raise her suspicions about his reasons, which results in a series of dates which are uncomfortable for both of them; After one such evening, the Hornet and Kato break up an illegal arms sale, allowing one of the supplier's men to escape so his boss, Johnny Dollar, will know who's responsible; Enraged, Dollar has Paul kidnapped off the street in broad daylight, then spreads the word across the underworld that he's putting the true identity of the Green Hornet up for auction; Diana, on the verge of telling Hayashi about a positive result on a home pregnancy test, is informed of the snatch via her cel. Kato hits the streets, with the Beauty's tinted windows and voice synthesizer hiding the fact that the Hornet is not on the back seat, and learns of the auction. 36 pages, full color. $1.95.

The Man Behind The Mask; Johnny Dollar begins his auction of the Green Hornet's identity; His responses to a couple of general challenges from prospective bidders are so suspiciously lame, it's a miracle none of the assembled racketeers pursues the matter further; The captive Paul tries to convince Glory that Dollar is wrong about him, mentioning among other things the potential damage to his concert pianist's hands (a consideration which should have given rise to objections during this feature's development); The bidding, primarily between Jeremy Fletcher and Helen Stefanopoulos (the latter as the authorized representative of her father, Constantine), reaches ten million. David Letterman-esque "top ten" list to promote the Kato graphic novel, followed by an ad for Syphons. 36 pages, full color. $1.95. Cover price $1.95.

ML."; With the elder Reid's knowledge that the local zoo has brought in a tiger for breeding purposes, and the fact that the moon will be full in two days, all is clear. 36 pages, full color. $2.50.

Fighting Tooth And Claw; As Mei Li is about to finish off the Crimson Wasp, the Green Hornet and his assistant intrude, with Kato throwing two darts into Li's claw that, much to her surprise, deactivate it; As the masked men battle the tong warriors, the two women's fight carries them away from the others; An electrical blast from the claw causes the Wasp to fall into the tiger pen, and to seeming certain death (would Mishi really sacrifice her own life rather than kill the zoo's property with her sword, as she easily did Mei Li's pet/guard-attack tiger in their original encounter?), but a pony-tailed young man garbed identically to Kato swings over the pen on a line, grabs the Wasp and pulls her to safety!; The mask notwithstanding, she immediately recognizes her nephew Kono, sends him to help their kinsman and the Hornet while she goes after the villainess, assuring the other she won't underestimate that claw again. Two-page blow-up of this issue's front cover art. 36 pages, full color. $2.50. Cover price $1.95.
