First Edition
Paperback. Condition: Very Good+. Illustrated by Author (illustrator). First Edition; First Printing. First edition, first printing with full number line. Nice tight copy, no names or marks inside, appears unread and near as new. ; Color Illustrations; Unpaginated pages; 30 full colour postcards depicting the comic strip hero Prince Valiant. From its first episode in 1937, Hal Foster's Prince Valiant expanded the possibilities of the comic strip by pioneering realistically drawn adventures. The Super Heroes of the ensuing decades would owe a great visual debt to the superbly muscled crusaders that regularly stormed through its pages. Set in the mythical "days of King Arthur", Prince Valiant's intricate detail and exquisite rendering belie the creative condensation of Foster's historical research, telescoping hundreds of years of history into a fantastic moment in which Norman castles stand sentinel on Fifth Century hills.

Hard Cover. Condition: New. Hal Foster (illustrator). Fantagraphics Books 2013. Full Colour illustrations. You might think that birth of Prince Valiant's son Arn at the end of the previous volume would have slowed down Val's adventuring, but you would be wrong. After the baby has been christened, Valiant and Gawain are dispatched to investigate reports of black magic in Wales, ending up in pitched battle at the aptly-named Castle Illwynde. Then it's off to Scotland to battle the Picts, and then home yet again for Val to visit his growing boy. Valiant now enters the 1950s: The Thule winter is hard and bleak, and a prince who has designs on Aleta must be dealt with. Then it's another epic-length story, "The Missionaries," in which Val and several of his fellow knights and crew travel to Rome on a quest for teachers who might bring Christianity to Thule. The story also features an escape through the Alps, far too many red-headed girls, and a tragic, life-changing event for the young squire Geoffrey (a.k.a. "Arf"). And Foster charmingly ends the book with "The Prince Arn Story," a three-week sequence narrated by the toddler. Prince Valiant Volume 7, once again shot from stunningly crisp and colorful original printer's proofs from Foster's original collection, also features the usual wealth of supplements, including another brace of rarely-seen Foster art, and an introduction by the recently-anointed artist of the ongoing Prince Valiant strip, Thomas Yeates. 120 pages. Size: 11" x 14" (270mm x 365mm). ISBN: 9781606996454. (1.2).

In the first story, King Arthur sends Val to North Wales to thwart an attack by King Cidwick, while back in Camelot, Mordred plans a scandal that will break the Fellowship of the Round Table.
