“The Blind Bowman!”

From DC's early adventure anthology comes this 1956 issue of The Brave and the Bold, spotlighting Robin Hood in a tense cover scene by Irv Novick: the legendary outlaw draws his bow at a distant target while a menacing armored figure issues an impossible ultimatum — split that arrow's shaft blindfolded or watch the Merry Men face execution, all set against a castle backdrop that perfectly captures that swashbuckling medieval atmosphere. The story within, "The Blind Bowman!," promises high-stakes archery drama with Bill Finger scripting the action. Rounding out the package are two more features — The Silent Knight and The Viking Prince — making this a genuinely packed ten-cent adventure.
