Description

From the publisher:

"With its thrilling continuities of a fictitious knight in the era of King Arthur's Court, Prince Valiant set a new standard for the serial drama when it debuted in 1937. There had been continuity strips, and even strong elements of adventure, before Hal Foster started drawing comic strips, but approximately 35 years after the birth of the artform, it was Foster who introduced illustrative techniques - and the sensibilities and standards of such illustrative greats as Howard Pyle - to the comics page. Realistic depictions and sophisticated compositions had been curiously absent before him. He is still considered, 21 years after his death and 66 years since Prince Valiant debuted, to be comics' supreme classicist, and the strip continues to live on in over 100 newspapers across America." Prince Valiant Sunday pages 47-92 (1938). Out of print.
