Wolf Pack, script by James Van Hise, pencils by Kevin Tuma, inks by Barb Kaalberg; 2023: Paul Reid wants to know how Britt I dealt with having to kill a man early in his Green Hornet career (as detailed in the previous issue), but the man's journals hold no discussion of the aftermath. However, Ikano Kato's do. 1936: Britt's college roommate, Charles Binford, has written to the Daily Sentinel, asking for an investigation into strange happenings near his home in the Canadian hinterlands. Britt takes advantage of the opportunity to get away from the pressures of the paper, the city, and his double life, with Kato deciding to go along to keep an eye on his troubled friend. However, on the first morning, Nazi soldiers break into the cabin and capture the three men, marching them to a nearby location where they are to be slave labor, building a secret airstrip. Photographs of NOW's original Green Hornet artist Jeff Butler, Mr. T, NOW's frequent Green Hornet writer Ron Fortier and inker David Mowry, TV Green Hornet actor Van Williams, and fans Scott Heathcote and Michelle Latimer, costumed as Hornet II and Kato III, at various then-recent conventions. 36 pgs. $2.50.

October 4, 1967: The bombing of a bank announces the debut of a new version of a dead criminal, Inferno. 1949: A madman calling himself Inferno was burning various and apparently unrelated targets. Even as the first Hornet/Kato team closed in on him, another masked hero, the Dark Agent, got there first, and a great explosion seemed to take two lives. Now the name and style are being used by someone else, who seems to strike only financial institutions. At a meeting of crime bosses, the Green Hornet tells the others that he suspects that the cash, securities, etc., are being removed first, and they agree to work together to stop Inferno. A shadowy figure has been watching the meeting, however.
