By day, the Green Hornet is newspaper publisher and prominent citizen Britt Reid. Reid uses the information he has access to from his civilian life to wage war against criminal element of city. He is assisted in these efforts by his personal valet and crime-fighting partner, Kato, and the duo promote the image that their masked personas are actually ruthless mobsters, which allows them access to, and a fearsome reputation among, the city's criminal element. Their true identities are only known to a select few, with the group typically including the county District Attorney, Frank Scanlon, and Reid's secretary, Lenore Case.
As a popular and pioneering superhero, the Green Hornet and Kato's influence have been widespread and served as a source of inspiration for numerous other characters including the Blue Beetle, the Sandman, the Crimson Avenger, parody characters including Darkwing Duck, and even certain aspects of Batman.
New Green Hornet and Miss Fury team up comic announced
Dynamite Entertainment, which acquired the Green Hornet comic book rights in 2009 and has published a steady line of titles featuring the character since then announced today that they are releasing a new series where the hero will team with Miss Fury.

Her exploits were also reprinted in comic books published by Timely Comics (the predecessor to Marvel) which consistently sold over a million copies an issue—a nearly unfathomable amount for an all reprint series.
The first issue of the Green Hornet and Miss Fury team-up series is set for release in November 2024.
