Story featuring Seven Soldiers of Victory

Storyline: After the mysterious appearance of some characters right out of the pages of fairy tale books, the Legionnaires visit a Dr. Wimsett, a scientist who has discovered how to intensify life to the point where a character can actually step right out of the pages of the story or poem in which they appeared and into real life. However, since some of the characters are scoundrels, the Legionnaires must track them down before any harm is done.

Chap.3: Food for Falstaff!

Storyline: Following up on a tip from Humpty Dumpty, the Battling Bowmen head after Falstaff, who, along with his men, have hijacked a food warehouse. His palate savors the new found banana, but has the goal of stealing sausages, and that is his downfall...or is it?
