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, Canadian 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). This is the second edition created using original proof sheets, this series features artwork that captures every delicate line and chromatic nuance of Foster's masterpiece and include his weekly panel signatures. Comic strip aficionados will be ecstatic, and younger readers who enjoy classic adventure will be bowled over. Volume One contains full weekly comic strips written between 1937 to December 31,1939.
