JohnT Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I finally got around to scanning one of my favorite Silver Age gems...1st app of that crazy spelunker...Cave Carson. Great story and art - very rare in HG. I agree, great, underrated book. Loved CC when I was a kid, and I bought a copy of this one with my hard earned paper route money.

Silver Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Okay, I spent a stupid amount of time putting all my CGC book in my registry, scanning every book and writing a description.

AtlasFan Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Ahh...a new pre-hero B&B enters my collection. Factoid: this issue has the origin of Robin Hood by Russ Heath (well..actually its Robin Hood's adventures as a boy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance you can at least give us a concise summary of the story. Thanks--Steve Sure thing Steve... The story is an untold tale of Robin as a boy. It seems that young Robin is having trouble pulling back on a mighty bow...the young lad just was not strong enough. Robin's father is looking for him -- as its time for his squire lessons. Robin is, meanwhile, hanging out with "Old Hugh" who is trying to teach him the finer points of archery. While looking for Robin, some highwaymen are about to overtake his dad in an ambush. The adrenelin must have been flowing as Robin is finally able to use the bow and help save his dad, covertly from the forest. And that's the story in all its Silver age simplicity! Good show...aye what? Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
