About the series
Hal Foster's majestic newspaper strip Prince Valiant was collected in a series of six hardcover volumes by Elmsdale in the 1950s, preserving the epic adventures of the exiled prince in the days of King Arthur. Foster's lush, painterly artwork and sweeping narrative—blending chivalry, humor, and historical fantasy—set a gold standard for comic strip storytelling. This series matters as a pristine archival presentation of one of the medium's most celebrated and influential works, showcasing Foster's singular vision without interruption.
