Synopsis
Award-winning illustrated biography of Hal Foster, in which author Brian M. Kane examines the 70-year career of one of the greatest illustrators of the 20th century. Superman was modelled after Foster's drawings of Tarzan, Flash Gordon's Alex Raymond borrowed compositions from Foster's Prince Valiant, and many artists, including the famous contemporary Western painter James Bama, who contributed the foreword, count Foster among their greatest influences.
