Summary:

Hal Foster's Prince Valiant, about a noble knight in the days of King Arthur, began in newspapers in 1937 and continues to this day. Foster (1892-1982) introduced illustrative techniques -- and the sensibilities and standards of such greats as Howard Pyle -- to the comics page. Realistic depictions and sophisticated compositions had been curiously absent before him.

Fantagraphics' deluxe, full-color library editions of Prince Valiant each feature close to a year's worth of full-page Sunday strips, with this volume collecting strips from 1972-1973, written and roughed-out by Foster and finished by Foster's prodigious assistant, John Cullen Murphy, who took over much of the strip in 1971 and continues with it today.

Notes:

"Comprising pages 1860 (October 1, 1972) through 1903 (July 29, 1973)"--T.p. verso.

"In the days of King Arthur".

"After completing the 40-volume run of Foster's series, we are now continuing with the John Cullen Murphy drawn continuation on the strip."
