AFTER TAKING ON THE ROLE OF ROBIN OF LOXLEY IN 1984’s inaugural series of Robin Of Sherwood, Michael Praed was replaced by Jason Connery, who played a completely different incarnation of the legendary outlaw, Robert of Huntingdon, in 1986’s third and final series. Now the pair are meeting for the first time in The Hooded Men, a new graphic novel from Chinbeard Books, set to be released on 28 April – the 40th anniversary of when Robin Of Sherwood first screened on ITV.
“It really started with a ‘What if the two Robins came together?’ and how and why would that happen, and what would the mechanism be that would make that happen?” says writer John Semper, who is teaming up with Brazilian artist Allan Jefferson. “It stemmed from my desire to work with both Robins and to personally write both of those characters.”
