The Prince Valiant Page is the first book collection featuring Gary Giannis work on Prince Valiant. This book gives a wellrounded informative look at both Giannis rendition of the Prince Valiant Sunday strip and his own working procedures. After 25 years as a professional illustrator, Gianni describes his new role as an assistant to John Cullen Murphy (who assisted Hal FosterPrince Valiant's creator). Upon Murphy's retirement, Gianni became the third artist in the 70year history of the feature. It continues with indepth knowledge of the strips creative process (i.e., receiving the script, photographing models, making preliminary drawings and pencil roughs, then concluding with the finished illustrations). Supporting artwork includes collaborations between Murphy and Gianni, with Murphys hand written notes and instructions. Examples of Giannis work over the previous thirty years as a professional illustrator are included as well.Giannis entertaining, insightful text reveals his methods and working relationships with Murphy and current Prince Valiant writer, Mark Schultz. Further, he explains the usage of his tools and provides many tips learned during the course of his career. Prince Valiant aficionados, those interested in the creation process, and enthusiasts of Giannis artwork will all find this book appealing.Most reproductions are direct from the original artwork, rendered with archival quality, and displayed in museum catalog format. Giannis originals are delineated using brush and pen. He utilizes these tools to create tones and variations often lost in the pure black and white reproduction methods characteristically employed in newspapers and comics. Giannis work has never been reproduced in this manner before. His full tonal range will be revealed for the first time.This book includes three gatefolds of Prince Valiant strips in color to showcase the finished works.
