Painted cover art by James Martin. Gun Metal Green, script by James Van Hise, pencils by James Tucker, inks by John Stangeland; A TV news report of a police vs. street gang-bangers shoot-out reminds an aging Britt of a letter the Daily Sentinel received--but never published-- from Dr. Tracy Loring, describing how her personal encounter with the notorious Green Hornet did not jibe with his reputation, and he then thinks back to that day. Accompanied/guarded by Kato, the Hornet surprises the emergency room staff and patients of a major hospital by carrying in a gunshot victim, an eight year old boy, Johnny Fairbanks. After entrusting him to the medicos, he refuses Kato's advice to leave until he knows the child's prognosis. A flashback shows how an attempt to get Jackson Adams to implicate himself in selling firearms to criminals led to a fight with the Red Hook Gang, and the little boy catching a wild shot.
