This is a clean graphic novel with very little to worry about. Probably the top of the list is the general “Robin Hood” suggestion that you likely want to use examples like he and his heroic band of men stealing to help those in need (and others, such as Aladdin stealing so he doesn’t starve) to talk through trickier moral situations with your children. The nuance here is that in one sense Robin Hood is “stealing back” money that shouldn’t have been taken from villains… but in another sense he is simply “stealing from the rich” and “he only takes from those who can afford it” and effectively taking the law into his own hands. Should bring up some solid discussions and pointing to the fact that ultimately God is the judge of right and wrong.
Other items to consider:
A man is killed by a sword. The action is not really shown, but he is portrayed laying still on the ground after.
Robin Hood and Maid Marian embrace and kiss at a time when they are not yet married.
There is a threat of hanging from a noose
Friar is shown guiding a man to get really drunk as a part of a “good guy” plan
Young readers will see the line, “You still receive your silver arrow straight through the heart”
We should also just remind parents that short graphic novel adaptations certainly do take away from the real depth of any classic story they portray. Something to keep in mind.
