the Red Archer

A STRANGE ROBIN HOOD

Remember the legendary Robin Hood, who stole from the rich to give to the poor? Well, Darkwood also has its archer, protagonist of numbers 61 and 62. This one, however, steals for himself and kills only for the pleasure of it. He calls himself Robin, like Sherwood's vigilante, and like him he is surrounded by a group of "merry companions of the forest", even if these are nothing more than a bunch of hired outlaws and cutthroats. It so happens, however, that the Darkwood forest is not inhabited by Prince John's inept soldiers, but by Zagor who, even if wounded by a deadly arrow, will still have the strength necessary to give the dishonest Robin a healthy beating. And we will never hear of the pompous Red Archer again.
