Big bravado from Topper in panel 1, but the Apparatus isn’t buying it at face value. If Topper’s proposal were an IPU, its price would be heading toward negative territory. The Cigar-Smoking Lady lays it all out for him in terms that even a Central City gangster can understand….

This isn’t the Marvel or DC universe. There are no “Super-Villains”.

Pompous, for the Apparatus has failed, and they will fail again. It’s been great meeting you, Topper. Good bye, you’re as good as dead now.

Is the Apparatus run by Little Orphan Annie? From the silhouette in the middle panel, it sure looks like it!

Topper doesn’t need to light a cigar. Just take a deep breath of the air in the room. That ought to satisfy his craving.

The mystery woman is black. Her hair is an Afro and her hands in the final panel have dark skin.

None of the crimes solved by the Green Hornet on the tv show ever came back.
