Who is Robin Hood?

The legendary outlaw of Sherwood Forest who robs from the rich to give to the poor, Robin Hood is the iconic English folk hero whose skill with a bow and leadership of his Merry Men have made him a timeless figure of justice and rebellion against tyranny.

One of history's most beloved folk heroes, this Robin Hood made his comics debut all the way back in 1917 in Luther D. Bradley's Cartoons by Bradley β€” a genuine Platinum Age pedigree that gives him a longer comics legacy than almost any character you can name, stretching an astonishing 108 years to the present day. His most frequent stomping grounds include Thriller Comics Library, his own self-titled series, and Green Arrow β€” fitting company for a legendary archer β€” while his page-sharing adventures have placed him alongside figures as varied as Kid Eternity, Krypto, and even Abraham Lincoln and Paul Revere. Published under IPC's banner, this is a character whose endurance across more than a century of comics speaks for itself, a timeless icon who has kept readers reaching for the next issue from the Platinum Age onward.
