Written by Robert Rodi, art by Jackie Lewis. Another exciting chapter in this bold and provocative re-imagining of Robin Hood! 'There is a passage in Leviticus, long ignored, that forbids a man to lie with another man as he would with a woman.' The truth behind the Merry Men's exile into Sherwood Forest is revealed, as is Robin's steamy past with King Richard. But now that Robin's friends are in danger, the Merry Men are faced with a choice. Stay in Sherwood, where their safety is all but guaranteed, or rescue those held hostage by the violent Guy of Gisbourne? 28 pages, full color.
