Prince Valiant
About the artist
Hal Foster
Harold “Hal” Foster was a Canadian-American illustrator whose Sunday newspaper strip Prince Valiant (1937–) established a standard of classical draughtsmanship in the American comics form. Drawing on his training as an advertising illustrator, Foster brought detailed historical research, grand landscape composition and a formal prose caption to the funny pages, producing what is widely regarded as one of the finest narrative strips ever published.
About this series
Prince Valiant
Prince Valiant (from 1937) is the Sunday newspaper strip by Hal Foster — a Camelot-era chivalric adventure whose detailed historical research, landscape composition and elegant prose captions set a standard for classical draughtsmanship that the form has rarely matched. It has continued under successive artists since Foster's retirement, including John Cullen Murphy and Thomas Yeates.
