Prince Valiant #29

Fantagraphics' handsome hardcover series rolls on with Volume 29, collecting the 1993–1994 strips by Foster, Murphy & Murphy. The cover assembles a vivid mosaic of scenes: a mounted hunting party crossing rolling green hills, close-quarters sword combat aboard a vessel, a cloaked figure confronting a mysterious robed companion before an Egyptian pyramid, a fierce cavalry melee beneath a golden sky, a moonlit shoreline with figures and a small boat, and a charging band of Viking warriors at dusk. It's a sweeping reminder of just how effortlessly this strip moves between pastoral elegance and full-throttle adventure across continents and centuries.
