Four Color #413

A dashing live-action Robin Hood grins confidently from this 1952 Dell one-shot, bow in hand and quiver on his back, bringing Walt Disney's swashbuckling hero to life in vivid color. Three illustrated vignettes down the right side add to the excitement — a staff-fighting duel over water, a sword clash between Robin and an armored knight, and a mounted knight before a castle. At just ten cents, this is a charming snapshot of Disney's Robin Hood adventure rendered across both photography and the pen-and-ink artistry of Morris Gollub and Jon Small.
