Robin Hood #3

The Prince of Sherwood stands front and center on Frank Bolle's cover, bow drawn and quiver at his back, while a crowd of his Merry Men looks on in ghostly blue silhouette behind him — a striking visual that sets the stage for the "All New Adventures" promised inside. Bolle's confident linework captures Robin Hood mid-action, green-and-gold tunic and red-feathered cap unmistakable, radiating the energy of a hero very much in his element. With the story "Pitfall for the Merry Men!" waiting within, this 1956 issue from Magazine Enterprises makes a fine addition to any shelf devoted to swashbuckling adventure.
