(W) Hal Foster, John Cullen Murphy, Cullen Murphy
The 28th volume of Fantagraphics' ambitious
reprinting of Hal Foster's immortal masterpiece.
On a quest in the Asian lands of Cathay, Prince Valiant encounters
a fire-breathing mechanical dragon and the legendary
adventurer Prester John. Armies converge, mountains crumble,
and a father and son are reunited. Mordred escapes imprisonment
and treacherously stabs Arn, who learns that Maeve is
soon to give birth. Val discovers a lost colony and wrestles with
a tusked whale off the coast of Greenland, but a spell overcomes
the expedition on the Isle of Lost Youth. Plus, an introduction by
Turkish/German artist Ertugrul Edirne. And behind the scenes
of a heavy-metal interpretation of Prince Valiant.
Universally acclaimed as the most stunningly gorgeous
adventure comic strip of all time, Prince Valiant ran for 35 years
under the virtuoso pen of its creator, Hal Foster. Starring a daring and gallant young
hero, the series features epic swordfights, elaborate scenes of pomp and pageantry,
and breathless plotting that always leaves the reader wanting more. Fantagraphics'
deluxe editions, each collecting two years' worth of Sunday strips, boast superbly
restored artwork that captures every delicate line and chromatic nuance of Foster's
art.
