Prins Valiant #17

"Från Rom till Thule" marks a pivotal moment in Prins Valiant’s journey as he travels to Italy to deliver a message from the papacy about sending missionaries to the North. Back in Thule, alliances shift as Gawain’s kin join forces with the Orkney clan, and a trade pact is forged between the Thule Vikings and their neighbors—until the reckless Viking Boltar breaks the agreement, only to be captured by Aguar. When Tillicum falls for him, she frees Boltar, who then warns Aguar of an approaching Danish raiding party along the pirate route. The story, written and illustrated by Hal Foster with cover art by Foster himself, captures the epic scale and quiet drama of his legendary saga.
