Outlaw: The Legend of Robin Hood by Tony Lee

4.0

I love anything having to do with Robin Hood. This is a great graphic novel interpretation of the legend, drawing a lot on a similar backstory that was used for the recent (and sadly canceled) BBC tv series Robin Hood. I liked the addition here of Robin as a child meeting the outlaw Will O'the Green, and then seeing his own father save Will from hanging with a well-shot arrow: which killed Will, sparing him the more gruesome death. Robin grows up under his dad's tutelage, vowing to someday be able to snap the rope on a hangman's noose with his arrows, thus becoming a better archer than his father. This book has a great colorful historical look to it, excellent art, great realistic drawing style and humorous dialogue. Very enjoyable. And did I mention romantic? Always loved the Marian and Robin storyline...
