“Robin Hood vs the Merrie Men!”

In "Robin Hood vs the Merrie Men!", a classic tale from The Brave and the Bold #11 (1957), Robin Hood wakes up disoriented after being ambushed, convinced he’s Prince John’s Captain of the Guards. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated with crisp detail by Russ Heath, the story follows Robin as he mistakenly arrests Little John, Will Scarlet, and Friar Tuck—only to regain his memory after a second head injury. The cover by Irv Novick captures the moment of chaos, setting up a tale of mistaken identity and redemption in Sherwood Forest.

Ambushed, Robin is conked on the head and convinced he's Prince John's Captain of the Guards! He accosts Little John, Will Scarlet, and Friar Tuck, arresting them. Yet his head is still muzzy and he feels sad. The Merrie Men believe he's a traitor, and knock him against a wall - conking his head again and restoring his memory. Robin arranges for the prisoners to be shackled to a well-wheel outside the dungeon, then frees them, even dares them to kill him if they suspect he's a traitor. Convinced, the four fight free and reunite in Sherwood Forest.
