The most visually opulent comic strip in the history of the medium
celebrates its 50th anniversary with the marriage of Prince Valiant's
son. Val goes in search of a northern spice route, which leads him into
adventures among the Balts, the Greeks, the Lapps, and the Chinese. A
Trojan Horse deception in reverse nearly wipes out Val's expedition, and
a dreamlike encounter north of Cathay involves Yeti and other strange
creatures. Back in Britain, Arn's bride strikes a blow against
chauvinism and liberates the women of the village of Orr to exercise
their true potential.
