'Robin Hood'. Dutch-language version.
Charles R. Snelgrove was a staff artist at the Toronto Evening Telegram for eight years. He was the artist of the 'Robin Hood and Company' newspaper comic, which was the only Canadian adventure comic of its time. Between 23 September 1935 and 10 August 1940, the comic ran in the Toronto Evening Telegram. The plot was scripted by journalist Ted McCall (1901-1975), who had already created 'Men of the Mounted' with artist Harry Hall from 1933 to 1935. 'Robin Hood' was syndicated and was published in Canadian, US and some European newspapers. In the U.S., it ran in The Wilson Daily Times in Wilson, North Carolina. A strange plot development about this 'Robin Hood' comic was that Robin Hood eventually freed Cypriot slaves and befriended Blackbeard the pirate. Snelgrove drew 'Robin Hood & Company' from 1935 until 5 February 1940, when he fell seriously ill. He was succeeded by another artist, Syd Stein, who continued the series until the newspaper story concluded on 10 August 1940. Harry V.R. Anderson also ghosted episodes around this time. On 3 June, Snelgrove passed away from his illness.
In 1941, 'Robin Hood and Company' was also published in comic book format, with new adventures being drawn by Ed Furness, June Banfield and Priscilla Hutchings. Between 1945 and 1946, it also appeared in color, but the series was discontinued when Anglo-American Publishing Ltd. went bankrupt.
