It should be interesting. The art from that era wasn't always that good and the stories can be dated. In the case the art doesn't look to bad and since GH usually went up against realistic villians it shouldn't be to bad. And lets face it, this about the only way most of us Green Hornet fans will ever see these stories.

Haven't found much to like about the new Green Hornet series so far, but I'll definitely be checking out this "remastered" series.

Would also love to see a "remastered" Lone Ranger series, utilizing the Sunday strips in their original format. Same for Phantom when it comes to Dynamite, but using the Egmont stories.

Is this a series? Or a trade? 'Cos I'm more likely to buy the latter than the former.

Read the second sentence in the solicitation. :D

Oooh! I have an audio tape of the Waiter's Union Racket! That's a good one--one of those stories where Britt Reid is shown as being fairly effective against criminals just by being publisher of the Sentinel, although naturally he needs to use the role of the Hornet before the story is over.

This book should be a delightful read. Of course, reading them in groups, one might start noticing a few tendencies that the radio shows had. For example, anybody named "Creavey" is almost certainly a bad guy (or gal)...

Indeed. I'll be more clear on that part of it in the future, if I happen to come across the solicitations before anyone else.
