Synopsis

Mishi continues her story of how Johnny Dollar turned her into the Crimson Wasp: At the graves of Eric and Katya, her half-brother Hatami promises to help her and keep her confidence. Mishi goes into seclusion in an alpine retreat owned by her mother, where with the help of equipment provided by Hatami she recovers from her injuries and miscarriage, and trains herself. With the help of computer hacking skills learned from a college roommate, she finds that Jonathan Dunhill has disappeared, but Johnny Dollar is making himself known across Europe. As the Crimson Wasp--a persona lifted from ancient Japanese legend--she pursues him, but is always a step behind. The trail eventually leads to the USA, and the events of the first three issues of this series. Mishi now says Dollar is still alive--she gives absolutely no reason for believing this, yet Hayashi gives only token resistance to the idea--and asks her brother and Paul to help her find him, but as her intent is still to kill Dollar, they refuse on moral grounds. As she angrily storms out, she sees the new Black Beauty and calls it "boring," which in a sense was actually the point of its outward design. Paul then calls Diana, tells her what has happened, and asks the D.A. to run a check through her sources on Dunhill/Dollar. The results are surprising. Jonathan Dunhill was supposedly old money, descended from the Pilgrims, and a financial wunderkind. In fact, he was William Robert Parker, a juvenile small-time thief from a poverty-stricken West Virginia family, until a social worker saw potential in him and convinced him to apply himself. He changed his name to Dunhill upon qualifying for a full scholarship to Harvard, where he learned even more, and became a large-scale embezzler. Dunhill, says Diana, disappeared by returning to his birth name, which led to her finding an address for him right in The City. Soon, Dollar is shocked to receive a telephone call from the Green Hornet! To be continued....
