Unusual Tales - Lure Of The Maiden



"Unusual Tales", a series presenting Steve Ditko's comics from 1957 to 1959 that are in the public domain.

"Lure Of The Maiden" is a 5-page story from Charlton's ROBIN HOOD AND HIS MERRY MEN #38 [1958], the final issue of the series and the only story Steve Ditko drew for it.

Nothing really notable in the story, but Ditko's art looks really good, very much suitable for the characters and subject matter, and a good looking precursor to his later work on more modern day action heroes.
