The Return of Karen and Valeta

Many readers no doubt welcomed the recent return to Prince Valiant of Karen and Valeta, the twin daughters of Val and Aleta. Their reintroduction in the June 2, 2013 installment was the first time the twins have been portrayed by artist Thomas Yeates, who in April 2012 became the fourth artist to illustrate the revered adventure strip.


Yet as happy and playful as their return is portrayed, it's soon revealed that all is not well with the daughters of the Prince of Thule and the Queen of the Misty Isles.
