Prince Valiant Vol. 8: 1951-1952 by Hal Foster
120-page full-color 10.25" x 14" hardcover • $35.00
ISBN: 978-1-60699-699-0
"Medieval swordplay and adventure have never been as glorious as in Foster's Sunday-only comic strip…. Prince Valiant is one of the best-drawn comics ever, and this new edition does ample justice to its achievement." – Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
"If you've never read Prince Valiant at all, I highly implore you to give it a shot with Fantagraphics' current hardcover reprints. They're huge, beautiful – the best these strips have looked since their original publication, if not exceeding them. They're world-spanning adventure comics of the highest order – in a pantheon of titles ranging from Corto Maltese to Kamandi to Tintin." – Joe Keatinge
