Green Hornet stickers
The Green Hornet set of stickers was released by Greenway Productions in 1966. The Green Hornet TV show was quickly rushed into production as a result of the success of the Batman TV show, and was similar to it in many respects. There were 44 stickers in this set.
Sticker fronts depicted a color scene from the show, usually a portrait shot of one of the main characters (although some cards showed a colored drawing of Green Hornet and/or his sidekick Kato). The pictures were surrounded by a thin black or white outline, against a white or solid-color background, with a stylish Green Hornet logo against the background or superimposed over the picture. Most were uncaptioned, with a few giving simply the name of the character depicted. The stickers were numbered.
Stickers from this set are known to have been sold in 5-cent packs as well as in 18-sticker rack packs.
Although not hard to find, the stickers from this set command an above-average price.
The character of Kato was played by soon-to-be superstar Bruce Lee, who is depicted on several stickers in this set.
Value: Individual stickers in this set can bring around $6.00 each, with a full set of 44 costing around $300.00.
