Prince Valiant, Vol. 5: 1945-1946

Prince Valiant, Vol. 5: 1945-1946
- Fully half of this latest volume of Hal Fosterâ€™s epic masterpiece â€” again scanned from superb syndicate proofs â€” is devoted to the remaining chapters of â€œThe Winning of Aleta,â€ a 20-month (!) epic in which Valiant obsessively pursues his bride to be. Not surprisingly this is followed by a sequence called â€œMatrimony,â€ which ends with a newly wed queen adjusting to the luxurious, exciting court life at Camelot. But Valâ€™s marriage does not signal an end to his adventures. In â€œWar in the Forestâ€ Val is sent out to spy on encroaching Saxons â€” unknowingly aided by Aleta, who, disguised as a small knight (and dubbed â€œSir Punyâ€) helps prevent disaster. But the 1946 strips end with Val and Aleta unable to return to Camelot and the displaced couple journeying to Thule. Half the strips in this volume also include the delightful â€œThe Medieval Castle,â€ Fosterâ€™s chronicle of two young boys growing up during the time of the First Crusade â€” but by the end of the 1945 strips this series has ended and the Valiant portion resumes its full-page glory.
