Prince Valiant in the Days of King Arthur

Hal Foster’s lavishly illustrated Prince Valiant in the Days of King Arthur collects the early, defining years of his celebrated newspaper strip into a 20-issue comic series published by Associated Newspapers from 1954 to 1956. Known for its meticulous, painterly artwork and epic Arthurian adventure, the series follows the young Prince Valiant as he grows from a boy into a knight. Foster’s singular vision—writing, drawing, and often lettering every page himself—makes this a landmark of sequential art, blending historical romance with fantasy. It remains essential reading for fans of classic adventure comics and the golden age of newspaper strips.
