Robin Hood Tales #11

In "The Battle for Robin Hood's Castle!" from *Robin Hood Tales* #11 (1957), Robin Hood—still the Earl of Huntingdon—faces a year’s deadline to reclaim his family’s castle from Prince John’s grasp. With a daring plan involving a fake raid and a catapult disguised as a Trojan Horse, Robin and his Merry Men stage a high-stakes maneuver to reach the bell tower. As guards close in and arrows fly, Robin races up the rope, swinging to ring the bell three times before making a daring escape through a window—securing his rightful claim, one swing at a time.

In "Squire Robin Hood!", Robin is unexpectedly bested in combat by a mysterious knight—only to discover it's Prince John in disguise. Forced to serve as his squire, Robin's clumsy antics on the hunt only deepen the humiliation, until a daring duel reveals his true skill. With the Merry Men closing in, the tables turn in a moment of swift, sharp justice.

Blind after being struck by the Sheriff, Robin Hood must lead his men through the forest by memory and instinct, guided only by sound and touch. When he meets Marian at the bridge and battles an unseen knight, his courage and sharp wits become his greatest weapons. As the Merry Men are surrounded, Robin faces the Sheriff in a final challenge—only to regain his sight at the moment it matters most.
