It's Been Awhile - Green Hornet 0

[theCapraAegagrus]

Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been around for awhile. Some of you are already aware that that's at-least partially because I lost my job in August. I could make this a sob story, but thankfully this isn't about me. Recently, someone close to me lost someone closer to her than we are with one another. He was a fan of Green Hornet. Admittedly, I know very little about this title other than it has origins in radio, canon in comics, and what I remember to be a god-awful movie adaptation. I want to acquire a piece of memorabilia (comic book) that I can gift to her and her son as a memento of our collective celebration of this wonderfully charitable man's life. This man was a war veteran who was always on his toes about fighting tyranny, foreign and domestic. Did any of the original radio-inspired comics feature a cover with Green Hornet and armed forces? Or perhaps a tease of investigating corruption (my understanding is that he's a detective)?

I may not log back in for awhile, but I will be reading this thread for any suggestions. Whatever I end up getting, it will be gifted in bag&board, as I will be looking to leave a kind note for them.

Here's what I found (besides the above) with a war connection:

Giving a bump, saying hello to Capra, wishing some well and that your friends are getting along with their loss - and that you found a gift to give them. Here's to hoping all is improving, brutha.

Only GH comics I ever owned were from this brief run.  Bruce Lee photocover, too:

WW2 Era Green Hornets are some of the more affordable Schomburg covers.
