Queen Aleta Enters Center Stage,
By
This review is from: Prince Valiant, Vol. 20: Pilgrimage (Paperback)
This volume centers around Queen Aleta's return to her Kingdom of the Misty Isles. During her four years of absence, her sister has been the regent. However, all is not well and Aleta by herself must figure how to outwit her plotting brother in law and the perfidious nobles that aid him. It is this plot foucs on Aleta that makes this volume of the Prince Valiant chronicles unique.
If there is a downside to this volume, it is that Hal Foster decided to set his stories in the early Dark Ages. Unfortunately, in 1954 there were no Osprey uniform books and clothes the characters are wearing just do not seem right. For someone who knows the era, it is odd to see characters dressed as Normans, Vikings, Macedonians and Romans all co-existing in the same universe. Be that as it may, the stories are so well plotted and executed that in the end, it is easy to be engrossed in Foster's world. |
