Prince Valiant Vol. 4 1943-1944 [Hardcover]

As this fourth volume begins, Prince Valiant, haunted by Aleta, seeks Merlins wise counsel. This brief episode segues into one of Hal Fosters patented epics, The Long Voyage to Thule, which ran for seven straight months and featured Valiants return to his birthplace and reunion with his father. Of course, Fosters astonishingly detailed and evocative depictions of Vals homeland contribute greatly to this sprawling epic.&&[T]he mastery Foster brings to bear on his every panel may have been equaled both before and since his prime, but its never been surpassed.Rendered in a simply stunning panorama of glowing visual passion and precision, Prince Valiant is a non-stop rollercoaster of stirring action, exotic adventure and grand romance; blending human-scaled fantasy with dry wit and broad humour with shatteringly dark violence.Haunted by his long-lost love, Prince Valiantjourneys back to the land of his birth.
