Viking Prince is inferior in what way? I haven't seen it, but have been wanting to order it for a while.
Is the reproduction from inferior scans, is the binding glued, or is it just that the paper isn't shiny/glossy?
It's in the Kirby Omnibus format (i.e. glued binding, newsprint-like paper, gutter loss).  That said, the restoration appears to be OK -- taken from DC's film archive with a new color separation.
