79/100 I've always been a big fan of The Shadow, and I loved The Green Hornet TV series as a kid, so this team up was right up my Alley. Its 1939 and The Shadow's arch nemesis, Shiwan Khan, is working with Hitler to keep the US out of the upcoming war by crippling America's industrial complex. Khan approaches The Green Hornet, believing he is a crime lord, to aid in this endeavor. As with any team up, at first our heroes are at odds ⬇️

RamsFan1963 with one another, before realizing they're on the same side and join forces. I wish Kato had had more to do in the story, but otherwise it was a nice throw back to the kind of crime dramas that played on the radio. 4.5/5 ⭐ #Read2025 3mo
