Publisher's Synopsis

Fantagraphics' recent reprints of the Prince Valiant strip, scanned from original colour engraver's proof sheets, have received international acclaim, and this Holy Grail of comics art is now being reprinted. Hal Foster's Prince Valiant Studio Edition is scanned from Foster's original pages and printed in full colour. Each page is so rare that the sum total of the original art reprinted in this book would likely cost millions. From Foster's very first Prince Valiant page, the public will be treated to some of the finest comic art ever made.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
