Matt Wagner covers the Green Hornet

Dynamite Entertainment has announced that Green Hornet writer Matt Wagner has also been hired to provide the cover art for The Green Hornet: Year One.

“It’s no secret that I’m big fan of the GREEN HORNET and these sort of pulp-laden adventure stories in general,” says new cover artist and writer Matt Wagner.  “When I first agreed to take on the writing chores for THE GREEN HORNET: YEAR ONE, I was thrilled to be able to help redefine the somewhat vague origins of this highly influential and dynamic character.  And now I also get the chance to contribute some original imagery to the series as well!  The Hornet and Kato are such a striking and visually dramatic duo, it’s gonna be a blast lending my artistic talents to help showcase the stories that Aaron Campbell and I will be telling inside the book.  I hope my efforts might also entice a few new readers to pick up the book and see the seminal tale we’re weaving herein.  Join us now in the powerful Black Beauty as THE GREEN HORNET rides again!”

Wagner’s cover art begins with Green Hornet: Year One #6.
