Prince Valiant, Vol. 20: Pilgrimage

The definitive compilation of Hal Foster's masterpiece continues with these oversized comics from 1953 to 1954. Volume 20 begins with Prince Arn's narrow escape from his escapades in Ireland. Merlin gives Valiant a clue to lifting the grim seige of King Arthur by the Saxon invaders, but, seduced by the Lady of the Lake, neglects to tell him more than a single word: "Stirrups!" Eventually, Valiant and Sir Gawain choose to make the Christian pilgrimage to Jerusalem and become by misadventure knights alone in a land which wants them dead!
