Wrestler Jerry Lawler To Provide Cover For Upcoming Issue Of Green Hornet

Posted: Mar 11th 2010 By: CMBurnham

WWE.com reports that Dynamite Entertainment has enlisted wrestler and Monday Night Raw commentator Jerry "The King" Lawler to provide the cover to an upcoming issue of the Kevin Smith-written Green Hornet comic. Which issue he'd provide the cover for wasn't specified.

?Not only is The Green Hornet one of the most important characters in American pop culture history? not only is this going to be one of the biggest launched comics of the year,? Lawler told WWE.com, ?but I am also going to have cover art featured in an upcoming issue of The Green Hornet!?

This isn't the first time we've heard word of Lawler's involvement with comics. Back in 2006, we learned he was a huge Superman buff on WWE.com, and in 2007, the site had a brief item on a Superman project that Lawler was going to draw that I don't think we've ever heard about since.

He also provided artwork for a WWE-themed children's book, Mick Foley's Christmas Chaos, written by fellow wrestler Mick Foley. You can also see some of his artwork from 1970s Memphis Wrestling programs at http://www.memphiswrestlinghistory.com/kingart.html

The first issue of Smith's Green Hornet comic arrives in shops today.
