☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe main story, "Sir Lancelot and the Haunted Tower," follows Robin Hood and his merry men as they become entangled in a plot involving the Earl of Ballard's captured castle and his daughter Lady Barbara, who is imprisoned in a tower. Characters including a knight named Duck and various soldiers engage in combat and intrigue around the castle grounds. The issue also includes a supplementary educational feature titled "Jungle Facts," which provides information about bananas and their various uses among jungle dwellers, describing how banana fronds serve as shelter materials, coverings, and building components, while banana stems are used for cordage and other purposes.
Robin Hood and his men are fishing in a sheltered English cove when they rescue a wounded soldier who brings urgent news: Lord Runkel's forces are surrounded by the French army at Beauville and facing certain defeat. With nothing to lose and England to fight for, Robin rallies his outlaws and commandeers a ship to join the battle on foreign soil—but their heroic intervention comes at a steep price when they return home.
Sir Lancelot discovers the castle of the Earl of Ballard under siege by the tyrannical Duc de Fer, and learns that the Earl's daughter, Lady Barbara, is trapped in a secret tower chamber with her ailing father. After a clever battle of wits and swordplay—where Lancelot turns the Duc's own mockery against him—the knight seizes control of the castle's tower and holds the invader at bay until King Arthur's forces arrive to lift the siege.
Pirates operating from hidden island bases strike at merchant vessels caught in calm waters, and a desperate ship's crew must fend off a coordinated assault from a numerically superior force armed with cutlass and cannon. This tale showcases the brutal tactics of coastal raiders who preyed on unsuspecting prey far from traditional naval trade routes.
When Ned of Nottingham and his men help Robin Hood escape the Sheriff's soldiers, they're invited to join the outlaw band—but Robin's trust is put to the test when Ned's true ambitions surface. As the newcomer schemes to use Robin's feelings for Marian to manipulate him into raiding the Sheriff's castle for gold, Robin must decide how far he'll go and whether his newest followers are truly committed to the outlaw code. The clash between loyalty and deception ignites in this 1957 tale of betrayal in Sherwood Forest.
When a mysterious, skilled stranger appears in Sherwood Forest and bests Robin Hood's men one by one, Robin demands to know his true identity—only to discover he's a hunter sent by young nobles at court to capture the outlaw band for sport. The stranger, revealed as Prince Harold, proposes an alliance instead, and together they face off against the titled hunters in a celebrated battle that will test both Robin's cunning and his judgment of character.
