Oh yah i must have a bunch of modern GH;s as well.

 

I think somewhere I have a few GA issues, but do not have scans of those

Strangely none of the Green Hornet comic books jumped in price like Jonah Hex books did, some movies get hyped and some don`t.

Hex was a serious adaptation (even though it sucked) which appealed to the hardcore fanboy looking for external validation, while this GH movie will only bring back memories of the 60's Batman camp series.

Well, the car looks cool

I dunno, the trailer looks better then Jonah Hex.

Looking forward to getting a Hot Wheels/Matchbox of the Black Beauty. Wonder when the toys for this movie will be shown.

But we're not talking better or worse, but the overall tone the movie goes for.

 

Hex is a terrible movie, but because it went for a serious tone with its adaptation, the hardcore fanboys embraced it (pre-release) as a validation of their hobby, and helped drive back issues prices much higher.

 

A movie like Green Hornet, is viewed as a comedy/satire and is not taken as a "serious movie" by the fanboys so it will never yield the same type of back issue spike. The best comedic adaptation of a comic book ever made would never have the same impact with collectors as a "serious" movie that sucked rotten eggs.

 

Just like the 60's Batman TV series, which is a camp classic that I loved as a kid, still love today and even my kids love watching on TV Land. But the hardcores only want "serious adaptations" and will slam the show any chance they get.

That's the silver lining with movies like this. I'm also hoping for a DVD release of the Bruce Lee/Van Williams series.

and it was probally that show and Superfriends that introduced most comicbook collectors into the world of comics. Neal Adams this ,Neal Adams that but it was Adam West that put Batman on the pop culture map and introduced millions of fans into the world of comics.
