Prince Valiant, Vol. 6: 1947-1948

Prince Valiant, Vol. 6: 1947-1948

Prince Valiant and Aleta travel to Canada, where their child is born, in this Legends-of-the-Roundtable-inspired strip.
Hal Fosterâ€™s masterpiece of adventure enters its second decade as Valiant and Aleta journey to â€œThe New World,â€ a 16-month epic that allows Foster to draw some of his spectacular native Canadian backgrounds, and during which Aleta gives birth to Arn and acquires her Indian nurse, Tillicum. Most of the rest of the book is taken up with the action-packed five-month sequence â€œThe Mad King,â€ during which Val, back at Camelot, confronts the evil, fat little King Tourien of Cornwall. This volume will be rounded off with an essay by Foster scholar Brian M. Kane (The Prince Valiant Companion) discussing Fosterâ€™s depiction of â€œIndiansâ€ as it relates to other interpretations of the times, accompanied by various graphic goodies such as a previously unpublished camping cartoon by Foster from circa 1915, some of Fosterâ€™s Mountie paintings, Fosterâ€™s own map of Valâ€™s voyage to/from the New World, and more rare photos and art.
