☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Battle of the Kites!", Sir Edwin's slander pushes Squire Brian to boldly challenge The Silent Knight’s reputation—just as the mysterious Hooded Terror demands tribute from travelers crossing the Forest Perilous. With courage and quick thinking, Brian dons the SK’s garb and faces the bridge’s traps, outwitting the twin Hooded Terrors with the help of Slasher the hawk. Written by Robert Kanigher and illustrated by Irv Novick, this 1956 adventure blends daring feats and medieval intrigue, with cover art by Irv Novick capturing the clash of heroism and peril.
In a daring twist of medieval intrigue, Robin Hood finds himself ensnared in a trap set by Prince John, only to escape a deadly arena by riding a ferocious armored boar through a palisade. With a flicker of hope—King Richard’s kerchief glimpsed from a distant tower—Robin and his men launch a skyward gambit, flying box kites across the castle grounds. As dawn breaks, Robin takes to the air on his kite, ready to reclaim the king and turn the tide of the siege.
In ancient Egypt, Marcus the Golden Gladiator stands guard over the Peace Banner atop a pyramid—until he’s felled and the banner stolen. Branded a coward, he swears to the Nile Queen to reclaim it. Tracking the theft to the waterfront, he escapes an ambush, leaps onto a fleeing vessel, and races through danger to restore the banner to its rightful place. As the banner flies once more, Marcus finds his reward not in praise, but in the quiet triumph of duty fulfilled.
In "The Hooded Terror!", the Silent Knight’s reputation is under siege as Sir Edwin spreads doubt, prompting Squire Brian to boldly challenge any threat. When a mysterious battleaxe and a daring note appear, Brian dons the Silent Knight’s armor and faces the Hooded Terror’s ambush on the bridge, only to be outwitted—yet still triumphs with the help of Slasher the hawk. Now bound by honor, the Silent Knight must accept a jousting duel, where even fallen, he claims victory and earns a rose from fair Lady Celia.
