Disney’s Robin Hood Leaps Onto the Page in a New Comic Series!

The beloved Disney interpretation of Robin Hood is leaping into his first comic series in over 50 years. Writers Nate Cosby (Cheetara: Worldbreaker) and Greg Weisman team with artist Alessandro Ranaldi (Zootopia, Disney Villains: Hades) for a brand-new Sherwood adventures, starting this November!

There have been plenty of tall tales about the legend of Robin Hood. The folks of the animal kingdom have their own version, and readers will get to learn the story about what really happened in Sherwood Forest. This new comic series will feature never-before-told-but-totally-true stories of history’s most famous archer. Each issue of Robin Hood will shine the spotlight on different characters, telling an interconnected story that focuses on Robin, Maid Marian, Prince John, Friar Tuck, Lady Kluck, Alan-A-Dale, and more of everybody’s favorites!

What is the story about?

When Robin Hood gets into a heap of trouble by breaking into Prince John’s castle every single day for a week straight. The only problem is, it takes a while to figure out exactly what he’s been stealing. But when Prince John finds out what’s missing, the hunt is on and it’s going to take all of Robin Hood’s skills and heroics to make it out in this uproarious adventure.

A Word from the Writers:

“Robin Hood is SO cool…who the heck wouldn’t want to be a dashing, swaggering, smiling thief on the side of good?, We’re gonna show old fans and new readers what makes Robin and his world so great…the beautiful, lived-in vibe of Sherwood Forest, the clashing-yet-mixing dynamics of British manners and southern charm, and especially the outsized personalities of mean ol’ Prince John, the angelic Maid Marian, and the people’s champion, the bandit Robin Hood!”

Out of all of the Disney Classics, Disney’s Robin Hood is surprisingly the least prolific in comic books. Over 50 years ago was the last major American tales of the people’s hero, and even across the globe the character’s four-color fables have been limited. Dynamite and the creative team are excited to bring this hero to this perfect medium to chronicle his brushes with the law and ultimate feats. Ever since its debut in theaters, it has brought joy to generations and inspired countless artists and creators. Readers will get to see artist Alessandro Ranaldi’s gorgeous interpretation of these classic characters in the new comic series.

To celebrate Robin Hood’s heroic return, editor and writer Nate Cosby has assembled a squad of superstars for gorgeous covers. Joshua Middleton and David Nakayama return to contribute even more instant classic visions of Disney icons. They’re joined by two legends of comic book archers, David Aja (Hawkeye) and Phil Hester (Green Arrow). Nathan Szerdy rounds out the initial cast, plus some exciting surprises that collectors can check out via the mystery blind bag!

While you wait for their return, you can watch Disney’s Robin Hood now on Disney +, Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital.
