Green Hornet Comics #21
In "The Corpse Who Walked Away," a 1944 Green Hornet Comics staple, Hank Wonatra's accidental drop of a coded note sets off a tense mystery when Gary uncovers its connection to German sabotage plans targeting a U.S. ship convoy. The Spirit soon realizes the danger lies not in the message itself, but in how it's being transmitted—through Wonatra's singing over the radio. Art by Bob Powell brings the wartime suspense to life, while Alex Schomburg’s cover captures the eerie, shadowed tension of the story.
