"A Modern Robin Hood" kicks off in Mystery Men Comics #1 (1939), a 10-cent gem from Fox, where Hemlock Shomes and Dr. Potsam dive into a mystery at Old Man Tintype’s mansion, sorting through a gallery of sons—all claiming to be the heir—while the killer remains hidden among them. Written, drawn, and inked by Fred Schwab, the story unfolds with crisp, early superhero flair, while Lou Fine’s dynamic cover art captures the intrigue with sharp, expressive detail.
