Prince Valiant Vol. 26 1987-1988

The most visually opulent comic strip in the history of the medium celebrates its 50th anniversary with the marriage of Prince Valiant''s son. Val goes in search of a northern spice route, which leads him into adventures among the Balts, the Greeks, the Lapps, and the Chinese. A Trojan Horse deception in reverse nearly wipes out Val''s expedition, and a dreamlike encounter north of Cathay involves Yeti and other strange creatures. Back in Britain, Arn''s bride strikes a blow against chauvinism and liberates the women of the village of Orr to exercise their true potential.
