Fantagraphics Books, 2011. Hard Cover. New. Harold (Hal) Foster. With this volume, Foster reaches (by common critical consensus) the peak of his drawing and storytelling prowess – a peak at which he will remain for most of the run of this glorious strip. Almost the entirety of 1941's strips feature a single ten-month epic entitled “Fights for the Singing Sword,” a globetrotting adventure fuelled by Valiant's obsessive search for his bride-to-be Aleta throughout Northern Africa, with stops in Jerusalem, the Arabic deserts, and, inevitably, a harem which Val must infiltrate. Then finally, in “The Misty Isles” Valiant meets Aleta face to face but upon learning that she has had his crew killed (deservedly so, actually, but still), he flees in anger, vowing never to see her again. “Homeward Bound,” Valiant continues his travels, with stops in Athens (where he meets the boisterous Viking Boltar, who will become his friend for life), North Africa, and Gaul (where Valiant liberates Gawain), before… Read More

Fantagraphics Books, 2011. Hard Cover. New. Harold (Hal) Foster. As the fourth volume begins, Prince Valiant, haunted by Aleta, seeks Merlin's wise counsel.

Of course, Foster's astonishingly detailed and evocative depictions of Val's homeland contribute greatly to this sprawling epic. 112 pages. Full Colour illustrations. 11" x 14" (270mm x 365mm).

Fantagraphics Books, 2012. Hard Cover. New. Harold (Hal) Foster. The epic continues, Hal Foster's fantastic historical romance is a must for any serious comics library.

Fantagraphics Books, 2013. Hard Cover. New. Harold (Hal) Foster. You might think that birth of Prince Valiant's son Arn at the end of the previous volume would have slowed down Val's adventuring, but you would be wrong. After the baby has been christened, Valiant and Gawain are dispatched to investigate reports of black magic in Wales, ending up in pitched battle at the aptly-named Castle Illwynde. Then it's off to Scotland to battle the Picts, and then home yet again for Val to visit his growing boy. Valiant now enters the 1950s: The Thule winter is hard and bleak, and a prince who has designs on Aleta must be dealt with. Then it's another epic-length story, "The Missionaries," in which Val and several of his fellow knights and crew travel to Rome on a quest for teachers who might bring Christianity to Thule. The story also features an escape through the Alps, far too many red-headed girls, and a tragic, life-changing event for the young squire Geoffrey (a.k.a. "Arf"). And Foster charmingly ends… Read More
