Prins Valiant #17

"Vägen hem" marks a pivotal moment in the long journey of Prins Valiant and his companions as they cross the Alps toward Italy, driven by a mission to persuade the papacy to send missionaries to the North. Written and illustrated by Hal Foster in his signature meticulous style, this 1997 issue continues the epic tale with quiet heroism, as Arf faces a painful loss and finds unexpected hope in a promise of love. The story unfolds with the weight of duty and the fragile bonds of alliance, as Valiant, Arf, and Gawain navigate treachery in Thule, where a Viking chieftain’s betrayal threatens a fragile peace. Cover by Hal Foster.
