The ultimate book for Prince Valiant fans and collectors. Out of print for over a decade, The Prince Valiant Companion has become a Holy Grail for collectors of the series. Now, in anticipation of the seventyfifth anniversary of comics longestrunning adventure strip, and to celebrate their own justlaunched reprinting of the strips classic earliest years, Fantagraphics is proud to present an expanded version of this hardtofind collectors item. Compiled by awardwinning Foster biographer Brian M. Kane, The Definitive Prince Valiant Companion beautifully and definitively showcases the careers of artists Hal Foster, John Cullen Murphy, and Gary Gianni.In addition to updating the original versions story synopsis section with over thirty years of material, The Definitive Prince Valiant Companion also contains rare and new articles. Included in this volume is a never before reprinted newspaper feature from 1949, Fosters final interview conducted by Arn Saba, an extensive interview with John Cullen Murphy, and a new interview with the current Prince Valiant creative team of Gary Gianni and Mark Schultz. The Companion also contains a new, indepth article by Kane on Fosters artistic influences, as well as a foreword by comics historian Brian Walker, and an introduction by Pulitzer Prizewinning author Ray Bradbury.A special feature of The Companion is a sixteenpage color section of carefully selected strips from the entire run of the comic. Showcasing this section are eight pages by Foster, scanned and digitally restored from original color engravers proofs that had been carefully stored and preserved for over forty years. For the first time ever, collectors will be able to see Prince Valiant as Foster intended it to be seen, with all of his fine inked line work intact. Rounding out this section are four John Cullen Murphy pages from the Murphy familys collection of proofs, and four Gary Gianni pages that were selected by the artist and digitally recolored under his supervision.Proceeds from the sale of The Definitive Prince Valiant Companion will go to The Friends of Hal Foster Society to aid in the creation of the Prince Valiant statue in Fosters birthplace of Halifax, Nova Scotia. 16 color and 144 blackandwhite illustrations
