Coles Prince Valiant Vol. 5: 1945-1946 at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

Fully half of this latest volume of Hal Foster’s epic masterpiece
— again scanned from superb syndicate proofs — is devoted to the
remaining chapters of “The Winning of Aleta,” a 20-month (!) epic in
which Valiant obsessively pursues his bride to be. Not surprisingly this is
followed by a sequence called “Matrimony,” which ends with a newly
wed queen adjusting to the luxurious, exciting court life at Camelot. But
Val’s marriage does not signal an end to his adventures. In “War in
the Forest” Val is sent out to spy on encroaching Saxons —
unknowingly aided by Aleta, who, disguised as a small knight (and dubbed
“Sir Puny”) 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 “The
Medieval Castle,” Foster’s chronicle of two young boys growing up
during the time of the First Crusade — but by the end of the 1945 strips
this series has ended and the Valiant portion resumes its full-page
glory.
