Much the Miller's Son

Summary:
From the Site:
Much the Miller's Son is the story of a cowardly peasant who accidentally joins Robin Hood's infamous Merry Men. Much is about as unfit for swashbuckling adventures as humanly possible, but fate has conspired to make him an outlaw in the pitiless world of Medieval England. Pretty well the only bright spot in Much's life is the beautiful Maid Marion, a young political radical whose boyfriend is none other than Robin Hood himself. Much's ill-fated crush on Marion is just enough to keep him from bolting when the Merry Men hatch another of their near-suicidal adventures, like entering the Sheriff of Nottingham's archery contest (despite the fact that it's an obvious trap) or most recently, breaking into Nottingham castle to rob the vault right under the Sheriff's nose!


Overall Impression:
This is an off-color comedy strip that involves our long time hero Robin Hood, but is not about him. It is rather the story of a lovable little nobody who falls in love with Maid Marrian, and who fumbles through Sherwood adventures. I will stress that the humor is vulgar at times, but overall just slapstick. One thing I love about this comic is that when I read how it is written, the characters sound like they have that rough, old english accent like in a Robin Hood Movie (or more like Monty Python!). It is not usually full color (which is usually a hang up of mine) but it has the feel of the newspaper funnies I grew up with as a kid (but with a little nudity once in a while).

Thanks for reading!
