☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains two Robin Hood stories. "The Conquering Hun" depicts Robin Hood facing off against Sir Braggart in an arena battle, using a trick to defeat the armored knight by removing his helmet. "Damsel in Distress" follows Robin and his men as they rescue a woman from Prince John's forces at Nottingham Hall; when a weakened castaway is later discovered at their hideout, it is revealed to be Captain Bellows, a poor man seeking to repay Robin's kindness by enlisting with his outlaw band.
When the High Sheriff of Nottingham keeps raising the bounty on Robin Hood's head, the outlaw hatches a bold scheme: he lets himself be captured and brought before the Sheriff to collect the reward—setting up a daring moment of reckoning inside Nottingham Castle itself. With Little John's help and nerves of steel, Robin turns the tables on his would-be captor in a way the Sheriff won't soon forget.
When a boastful warrior from Eastern Europe arrives at Nottingham's grand jousting tournament and steamrolls through England's finest knights with contempt for chivalry, Robin Hood can't resist the challenge—even if it means risking capture by Prince John. Stripped of armor and fighting on his wits alone, Robin takes on the brutal invader in a clash that proves brute strength isn't everything. The encounter sets off a chain of events that brings an unexpected ally into Sherwood Forest.
When the Sheriff of Nottingham commissions a master horn-maker to forge a duplicate of Robin's magical hunting horn—one that will lure the outlaw's men into a trap—Robin finds himself captured and forced to confront a cunning scheme that threatens both his freedom and that of his entire band. But the outlaw's wits prove sharper than the Sheriff's treachery, and Robin must outwit not just the imitation horn, but the Sheriff's escalating attempts to bring him down.
Robin Hood faces his most cunning adversary yet when the scheming Lady Julia lures him into a rescue, only to reveal she's working with Prince John to trap the outlaw and his band. As Robin discovers her deception and confronts forces closing in from all sides, he must outmaneuver both the Prince's soldiers and the High Sheriff of Nottingham to turn the tables on those who sought to ensnare him.
Young Captain Clayton survives a pirate attack that costs him his ship and crew, only to wash ashore and find himself caught between a cruel baron's cruelty and his own burning need for vengeance. When Clayton enlists with Captain Louie's crew and a storm drives them back toward the false beacons of Salvation Head, he finally has his chance to turn the tables on the scoundrels who destroyed him. This swashbuckling tale of deception, loyalty, and justice plays out across the storm-tossed English coast in a battle where the hunter becomes the hunted.
