The Brave and the Bold #6

In the shadowed heart of the Forest Perilous, a notorious Robber Baron and his band prey on travelers, leaving only whispers in their wake. When Sir Edwin hides his stolen jewels on Lady Celia’s mule without her knowledge, the young squire Brian overhears the plan and dons the guise of the Silent Knight, aided by his loyal hawk, Slasher. Scaling treacherous vines and confronting the gang in their hidden fortress, Brian fights his way through danger to rescue Lady Celia and recover the treasure—only to leave her with a haunting memory of flashing eyes she’s seen before.

In "Captive Champion!", a captured gladiator must fight in a hidden arena to save the life of Lucia, the niece of a treacherous noble plotting against the Emperor of Rome. With only a broken sword and his wits, he battles through danger, racing a stolen chariot through the forest to freedom—his heart racing not just from the chase, but from the words of the woman he now protects.
