Superb artwork, and actually a pretty engaging storyline. I've only read a few random strips before, and just dove into 1965 because it was available.
Foster is one of the legendary photo-realistic cartoonists of the early 20th century.
The first half of the book focuses on Prince Valiant's son Prince Arn. He was actually born during a trip his parents took to the New World, and wants to revisit his birth place. He's still a boy, not quite a man yet he convinces a crew of vikings to join him. They sail past Iceland, Greenland, and make it all the way to Labrador and Newfoundland where they make contact with various tribes including the Algonquins. They remember Prince Arn's mother and him as a baby because of his unique red hair. The story stays here for a long while.
The second half of the book focuses on Prince Valiant as he helps dispel a plot set by Mordrid to get the men from the Northern kingdom to attack Camelot and unwittingly assist Mordrid to usurp the throne.
The stories are all well told. Val and his son Arn use intelligence to outwit their enemies and avoid resorting to violence.
It's easy to see why Prince Valiant was such a popular strip in the Sunday Newspapers around the world. Please bring this back, I'd nearly buy a newspaper to get this! Hey, how come I can't get this stuff sent to my iPad on Sunday mornings?

It says something about a strip when the titular protagonist can be kept off-page for fourteen months and the strip doesn't miss a beat.

Vol.15 is mostly dedicated to the journey of Arn through parts of North America. Might be crazy today today to think that a whole year and two months of a comic could be dedicated to a side characters (Translated to comics that have a mothly publication of 20-something pages, that could be about 5 or 6 issues where Batman has pretty much no appereances or dialogue).
Foster manages to go back to the feeling of adventuring of early Prince Valiant strips while also keeping it fresh with some of the many things that Arn learns by having to fend of himself and be a leader like his dad.

In this exciting volume most of the story concerns Prince Arn(Val's oldest son and heir)adventures in the New World. After a voyage across the Atlantic, battles with sea raiders, exploring the vast unknown continent, Arn will keep a promise and return a leader.
Through out the reader will be amazed by Foster's art, of the people(the Native tribes, the Vikings, of Arthur's Court), the landscape (the rivers, the mountains of what will be Canada, the farms and castles of Britain and the wilds of Scotland) and a world that never existed, but should have.
The last chapters of this volume has Val on a spy mission(which he is good at), family problems(Val'S twin daughters are in love), Mordred is causing trouble and the beginning of another quest. A knight's life is always busy.
So readers pickup this volume and enter a world of heroes, a little magic and romance.

The artwork on these remains so lush and atmospheric as to die for, and the characters are as engaging as ever. I'm not a huge fan of the story arc that makes up the bulk of this volume as Arn's return to North America feels self indulgent on Foster's part. Either reusing the reference materials, wanting to set thing in his childhood homeland or whatever, but this one has a stronger touch of white savior to it than the last one (which was already carrying a hefty amount).
The back third of the book with Val working to disrupt Mordred's plans is classic Valiant, however, and makes up for any shortcomings in the first part.

Arn takes his own voyage to the New World. Val barely makes an appearance until the last few months but the strip is still as exciting and enjoyable as ever.
