From the creator of Batman, The Green Hornet prowls the city streets looking to put an end to criminal activity! Accompanied by his aide Kato, the Green Hornet -- himself considered a criminal -- exists to fight against crime. / THE LEGACY: Although "The Green Hornet" has been presented as a radio show, two movie serials, and countless comic books, the television show stands as the most fondly remembered incarnation of the hero, thanks in no small part to the stars. / FURTHER READING: James Van Hise's The Green Hornet Book (published in 1989) covers all incarnations of the Green Hornet, with a focus on the television series. Each episode is discussed in detail. Information on the serials and the radio show is also provided. The book is out of print but can be acquired through auction sites. / THEME MUSIC: Jazz great Al Hirt performed "Flight of the Bumblebee" for the theme music. His 1966 album, The Horn Meets the Hornet featured the theme as well as Hirt and Van Williams on the cover. Currently 8.5/10
