Description
Hal Foster Prince Valiant Partial Sunday Comic Strip #140 Original Art dated 10-15-39 (King Features Syndicate, 1939). Hal Foster's legendary Prince Valiant saga debuted on February 13, 1937. This early, lower half of Sunday #140, with its three magnificent panels, hails from a peak, pre-forties period. A panoramic scene from Val's fifteenth adventure, "The Legion of Hun-Hunters," is the highlight of this stunning piece. In this story arc, Val and the impudent thief, Slith, travel to the walled city of Pandaris where they soon discover that the false Duke Piscaro is allowing Huns free passage through the city in order to attack Val's Hun-hunters from the rear. Panel two of this piece is inscribed, "To Jolly Bill Steinke and the memory of a pleasant evening, from Hal Foster." This superb example has an image area of 25.5" x 20.5", and it has been matted and framed to an overall size of 36.5" x 30". Aside from some overall paper aging and some stains, the art is in Very Good condition.More information about Hal Foster. See also: Foster, Hal, Harold Foster, Foster, Harold Artist.
