In Vol. 6, Valiant and Aleta journey to "The New World", a 16-month epic that allows Foster to draw some of his spectacular native Canadian backgrounds, and during which Aleta gives birth to Arn.

This title concludes the epic tale "The Winning of Aleta". This is followed by a sequence called "Matrimony", which ends with a newly wed queen adjusting to the luxurious, exciting court life at Camelot. But Val's marriage does not signal an end to his adventures, quite the contrary. In "War in the Forest", Val is sent out to spy on encroaching Saxons - unknowingly aided by Aleta, who, disguised as a small knight (and dubbed "Sir Puny") helps prevent disaster.
