The Brave and the Bold #3
In "The Invisible Wall!", young Squire Brian finds himself pushed to the edge by his harsh trainer, Sir Grot, until a shocking challenge from the mysterious Cedric the Black forces him into action. When Cedric hurls his lance at the castle door in defiance, Brian’s chance to prove himself comes not in the arena, but in the wilds of the Forest Perilous—where he becomes the Silent Knight. With courage and quick thinking, he races to save Lady Celia from Cedric’s thugs, dodging danger and plunging through a stream to stop the villain in his tracks. Written by Robert Kanigher and illustrated with bold energy by Irv Novick—both inks and pencils—this 1955 adventure blends medieval drama with a hero’s quiet rise, all captured in a striking cover by Novick.
