“Threat of the Ice King”

In "Threat of the Ice King," the Silent Knight returns in a tale of deception and daring, as Squire Brian, secretly the knight’s identity, faces a trap set by the treacherous Sir Edwin. With the real Silent Knight forced to act when an innocent man is condemned, a daring rescue unfolds across the perilous forest and into the moat, where wet revelations and unexpected heroism collide. Written by Robert Kanigher and brought to life with bold art by Irv Novick—both interior and cover—this 1958 DC classic blends medieval intrigue with a moment of quiet triumph, all in a 10-cent comic that still holds its chill.

The Silent Knight rescues a man from a gibbet and Sir Edwin's evil clutches. Squire Brian (SK's secret identity) practices knightly skills. Sir Edwin demands he capture the SK. How? But riding the Forest Perilous, Brian meets - the Silent Knight! He fetches him to the castle to be hanged tomorrow. The real SK can't let an innocent man hang, and breaks into the tower. But the impostor was planted by Sir Edwin to draw out the real SK! The SK plunges into the moat, sheds his armor, and Brian climbs out wet - just in time to rescue Lady Celia as she "falls" and gets wet too!
