MATT WAGNER TAKES ON "GREEN HORNET"

Wed, October 28th, 2009 at 11:58AM (PDT)

Dynamite Entertainment grabbed the attention of pulp fans and superhero aficionados alike early this month at the Baltimore Comic Con when they announced that Eisner Award-winning writer and artist Matt Wagner would be heading up their first major series with the radio adventure hero the Green Hornet early in 2010. Along with artist Aaron Campbell, Wagner will craft "Green Hornet: Year One" - a period series set to roll out the hero's untold origins and set the tone for Dynamite's forth-coming modern Hornet series headed by writers Brett Matthews and Kevin Smith.

CBR caught up with Wagner to talk about the new series, from what his first connection to the Green Hornet was, to how Dynamite tapped him for the gig, and from his new takes on Britt Reid and Kato's partnership to what exactly he plans for the hidden connections between the Hornet and the Lone Ranger.
