As this fourth volume begins, Prince Valiant, haunted by Aleta,
seeks Merlin s wise counsel. This brief episode segues into one of
Hal Foster s patented epics, The Long Voyage to Thule, which ran
for seven straight months and featured Valiant s return to his
birthplace and reunion with his father. Of course, Foster s
astonishingly detailed and evocative depictions of Val s homeland
contribute greatly to this sprawling epic. After a series of
shorter adventures including The Seductress, The Call of the Sea,
and The Jealous Cripple, Val finally decides he can stand it no
more and sets out to find his long-lost love. Long-time fans know
that his quest will eventually be successful, but Foster throws so
many obstacles in the way of true love that the saga The Winning of
Aleta would end up stretching a full year and a half, well into the
next volume. With its stunning art reproduced directly from
pristine printer s proofs, Fantagraphics has introduced a new
generation to Foster s masterpiece, while providing long-time fans
with the ultimate, definitive version of the strip."
