- Summary
- Out of print for over a decade, The Prince Valiant Companion has become a Holy Grail for collectors of the series. Now, in anticipation of the seventy-fifth anniversary of comics' longest-running adventure strip, and to celebrate their own just-launched reprinting of the strip's classic earliest years, Fantagraphics presents an expanded version of this hard-to-find collector's item. Compiled by Foster biographer Brian M. Kane, The Definitive Prince Valiant Companion showcases the careers of artists Hal Foster, John Cullen Murphy, and Gary Gianni.
