The Green Hornet
Paul Reid; Green Hornet [Britt Reid I]; Kato [Ikano Kato]
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. During the following night, they are freed from their captivity by shape-shifting Native Americans, the very mystery Binford wanted investigated. In the natives' cave, they inform Britt that they know he is like them, a warrior "who wears another shape." They and the Green Hornet rout the Germans and put an end to the threat of the airstrip.

Page 8 should be between pages 3 and 4. There are two flashback cameos of the first Hornet in the company's second regular Hornet series, one of which is in fact explicitly dated to 1938, and the other, undated, might well also take place in that gap. Next chronological (NOW Comics) full story appearance: Sting of the Green Hornet # 1.
