Robin Hood Tales #9

In "The Strange Vow of Robin Hood!", Robin Hood arrives in the eerily empty town of Kingsbury, where a strange law allows anyone to claim the town if it's deserted for a full day—thanks to the Sheriff's bullying. With the Sheriff's men hot on his heels, Robin dodges through rooftops, alleys, and even a well in a relentless chase that lasts all day. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Ross Andru with inks by Mike Esposito, this 1957 DC tale sees Robin not just survive the challenge, but uncover a hidden silver vein beneath the town, leading to a surprising new name for the village. The cover, by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, captures the moment of triumph as the sun sets on Robin’s daring stand.
