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.

When the Black Lance crashes through the castle door, Squire Brian’s humiliation reaches a peak—only to become his chance. After a failed duel leaves Sir Grot bested, Brian plunges into the moat, rescues his trainer, and vanishes into the Forest Perilous to take up the mantle of the Silent Knight. Just in time, he arrives to stop Cedric the Black’s thugs from capturing Lady Celia, dodging the villain’s deadly lance and plunging through a stream to deliver a surprise strike that turns the tide.
