During a journey back to her Misty Isles kingdom, Aleta is hypnotised and abducted by a wizard. Val pursues them to the evil Hashida's cavernous domain, only to learn that Aleta can rescue herself. Aleta's younger sister Helene is gambled away by her husband to a Corsair mercenary, drawing Prince Valiant and his Singing Sword into a deadly duel. And in between battles, romance has its way with kings, wizards, and slaves. This edition includes a large gallery of Hal Foster's art for the 1930 U.S. Naval Academy yearbook, and an interview with Mad artist Angelo Torres.
