Art features total of eight panels and features Thoric of the Vikings preparing his forces for an oncoming reprisal from King Arthur, whom Thoric is sure has been alerted by Prince Valiant.

Following two panels see Britons readying themselves for battle; digging trenches and preparing Scorpio trebuchet. Last panel shows Prince Valiant overlooking things and planning the battle.

Artboards are not attached but could be easily assembled for wonderful framed display. Slight left margin trim and scattered margin/corner tip wear. Artboards are Fine/VF but art remains clean and Exc. aside from small spot of staining to second to last panel.
