That's pretty forward of Val to say that. Especially for fiction written in the late 50's/early 60's about a medieval prince.

I'm really enjoying Vintage Valiant. I had had no contact whatsoever with this character and Foster's work until I started to pay attention to these threads and I thank you for that.

I'm glad you're enjoying it! Like a lot of people I had bounced off the strip as a kid in the 80s/90s so I'm glad I gave it a chance as an adult.

I want the witch queen to never be elaborated on, but to just continuously show up everywhere looking smug as hell

I've been wondering if she's involved with Ming 2's plot somehow, but I hope not. It'll be much more fun if she's just enjoying drama she knows doesn't involve her.

Vintage Valiant (May 21, 1961)

This isn't the first time Val's acquired a slave, but I think it's the first time he's just straight up bought one. :(

Corto Maltese's driver got shot which led his car falling off a cliff, him saving the other passenger of the said car, an octopus attack, getting stuck in a giant clam and a shark attack.

Yeah, when I posting that first time round I was reminded of that one section of Fantoma which had the villain repeatedly dunked on by the fauna of the jungle. Don't ask me what was going through Pratt's head with that.

I think she lays off of the rabbit hunting, so it's a rousing success for the heroes protagonists.

My local pizza place literally has this actually. Thin crust, 'regular' and thick crust. Thick crust is like a deep dish pizza.
