Robin Hood Tales #9

In "The Strange Vow of Robin Hood!" from Robin Hood Tales #9 (1957), Robin Hood swears he’ll never set foot on English soil until he recovers gold stolen from King Richard—though the real thief is an English baron, not the French Normans. To keep his vow, Robin uses every trick in the book: boating across rivers, swinging through trees, riding a stag, rolling in a barrel, and even sprinting across a bolt of cloth to reach the castle and reclaim the stolen treasure.

In "Maid Marion's Quest!" from *Robin Hood Tales* #9 (1957), Maid Marion proves her courage by challenging the Merry Men to prove she’s worthy of the rescue mission—defeating them in swordplay, quarterstaff, and riding before setting out alone. Scaling the walls of the Black Castle, she’s captured, but her bold move draws the guards’ attention and gives Robin and the others the opening they need to free the Queen.

In "The Siege of Robin Hood Town!" from *Robin Hood Tales #9* (1957), Robin Hood arrives in the eerily empty Kingsbury, only to learn the town is up for grabs after a full day of abandonment—thanks to the Sheriff’s ruthless eviction. With the Sheriff’s men on his heels, Robin dashes through rooftops and alleys, holding the line until sunset, proving he can claim the town by sheer grit. When the villagers return, they discover a hidden silver vein beneath the streets—and with it, a new name for their home.
