☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
In "Threat of the Ice King," Jon and the Mute Bard venture into a frozen realm ruled by a frost-laden monarch, where each trial tests their courage and wit. Facing a two-headed bear, a perilous waterfall, and living snowmen, they must navigate the Ice King’s deadly puzzles to awaken a sleeping beauty holding a rose—only to be frozen in turn. With a sudden burst of insight, Jon turns a ruby into a blazing ray, breaking the Ice King’s hold and completing the Fourth Task of Thor.
In "The Double Decoy!", the Silent Knight races to save an innocent man from execution, only to find himself trapped in a deadly game orchestrated by the treacherous Sir Edwin. As Squire Brian, the knight's secret identity, trains in the shadows, he's forced to hunt the very hero he admires—until a mysterious figure in armor appears, leading to a twist that turns the castle into a trap. With the real Silent Knight on the run and Lady Celia in peril, a wet escape and a sudden rescue unfold in the flickering light of the forest.
