About the series
In the late 1950s, DC Comics took aim at the small-screen craze for swashbuckling adventure with Robin Hood Tales, an eight-issue series that ran from 1957 to 1958. Scripted by industry legends Bob Haney and Bill Finger, with artwork by Ross Andru and Irv Novick, the book offered straightforward, all-ages retellings of the legendary outlaw's exploits in Sherwood Forest. Though brief, it stands as a tidy, pre-superhero example of DC's mid-century commitment to genre adventure, showcasing the talents of some of the company's most reliable storytellers.
