Product Description: The most gorgeous adventure comic strip of all time, the on-going Prince Valiant Sunday-only comic strip ran for 35 years under its creator, Hal Foster. Foster limned epic swordfights and some of the most beautiful human beings ever to appear in comics. And he matched his nonpareil visual sense with the narrative instincts of a born storyteller. Prince Valiant has previously been widely available only in re-colored, now-out-of print editions (which fetch collectors' prices). Thanks to advances in production technology and newly available original proof sheets, this new series is the first to feature restored artwork that captures every delicate line and chromatic nuance of Foster's masterpiece. Comic strip aficionados will be ecstatic, and younger readers who enjoy classic adventure will be bowled over. Book One also has a rare, in-depth Foster interview.
Great for anyone new to Prince Valiant This book is great for anyone who isnt familiar with Prince Valiant, and also for anyone who wants to know about his character without having to wait until sunday and attempt to understand the comics about him. I recommend it for anyone who doesnt understand the usual King Arthur wording such as "Avallach" which is actually pronounced as Ava-hock. Weird. Just read the book
Not exactly Hal Foster I first heard about this book by accident but was very anxious to read it right from the first. Being a fan of Foster's literary masterpiece in comic strip form, I found that this book left much to be desired. It diverges greatly from Foster's storyline and ignores or completely changes the most basic features about the young Price Valiant's life. Enjoyable if you like Prince Valiant, but if you LOVE Prince Valiant, stick with Foster's and John Cullen Murphy's version in the Sunday papers.
