The true story of Theseus and the Minotaur. Everyone thinks they know Theseus, the great Hero of Athens. But what legend has retained is merely a web of lies, a fable to hide the truth—a truth that time was not ready to accept... It's time Her story was told.

When Scrooge McDuck finds an old model ship covered with clues to a sunken treasure galleon, pirate gold seems close! But so is a real pirate: rival billionaire John D. Rockerduck, following the clues on a second model ship! But are both tycoons being tricked? The terrible Beagle Boys are also at sea and know much too much about this treasure hunt! Also in this exciting volume: Donald Duck seeks a crocodile-infested fountain of youth in “There’s No Fool Like an Old Fool”; Goofy battles supervillains in “Here Today, Gone Apollo” and Scrooge discovers a parallel dimension in “Brother From Another Earth”!

The most visually opulent comic strip in the history of the medium celebrates its 50th anniversary with the marriage of Prince Valiant's son. Val goes in search of a northern spice route, which leads him into adventures among the Balts, the Greeks, the Lapps, and the Chinese. A Trojan Horse deception in reverse nearly wipes out Val's expedition, and a dreamlike encounter north of Cathay involves Yeti and other strange creatures. Back in Britain, Arn's bride strikes a blow against chauvinism and liberates the women of the village of Orr to exercise their true potential.

As this latest collection begins, Val and Arn are in Lappland, where they get involved with two twin brothers’ struggle over succession. Arn consults a mystical hermit about whether his destiny intertwines with Maeve’s, the daughter of an arch-enemy. With the sinister Mordred in control of Camelot, Val and Aleta seek to raise an army; this goal requires Val to capture a notorious outlaw, battle a troll, and find a hidden treasure. Arthur’s forces come together at High Cross, and he wages an epic battle for the fate of Camelot, during which Arn becomes a knight of the round table. Also included, Prince Valiant writer Cullen Murphy and colorist Meg Murphy pay tribute to their mother, Joan, model for Aleta and other female characters for their father.
