| Despite Ray Willner's signature, Reed Crandall had a major role in pencilling these Robin Hood stories. I respect Willner's work, but it doesn't take much to see that here he mostly was inking Crandall. Especially the last story--Crandall may have contributed only layouts to the first one, or shared pencilling with Willner. Whatever the work arrangement, it's a doggoned nice issue. |

| Thanks for the information. I picked this up with a large batch of books recently. I didn't know that this series even existed and I haven't seen any others that have been scanned. There was one other coverless issue in the same batch (#3), and I've picked another one up since (#2). I'm working on some other scans at the moment, but scans of these other issues will be coming in the next few months I hope, and I'm on the lookout for more if I can find reasonably priced copies. |

| Strange, on our page 13, first panel, the soldier says, "We have caught you at last, you blue-clad knave!" Everybody--even the colorist--knows Robin Hood wears green. |

| These comics are wonderful. The stories are timeless and the art charming. How did kids keep up with the series? I mean, how often do you visit a shoe store? I’m hoping you could just return to continue picking up each new issue without having to buy another pair of shoes. Many thanks for uploading these! |
