About the Author

Hal Foster (1892-1982) created Prince Valiant in 1937. Though remaining involved with the strip until his death in 1982, Foster handed the bulk of the scripting and art chores over to his longtime assistant, John Cullen Murphy, in 1971.

This review is from: Prince Valiant Vol. 15 : "Young Geoffrey" (Paperback)

It has been nearly seventy years and the Prince Valiant series is still being published on a weekly basis. Hal Foster, the creater of the series worked on it for nearly forty years. There are a number of reasons to explain its longevity as a series. This volume of the series showcases Hal Foster's good spiritedness. We are introduced to fourteen year old Geoffrey who in his search for experience challanges Sir Gawain to a joust. Soon knocked off his horse, Sir Gawain and Prince Valiant are both impressed with the young boy's determination to make it in a difficult world. Prince Valiant takes him under his wing and brings him to Camelot where he can formally be inscribed as a page in King Arthur's Court. The relationship between Prince Valiant and the headstrong boy is absolutely charming. Hal Foster's good nature really shines out in this volume. This is one of the better volumes in the series. Highly recommended.
