Prince Valiant is "the biggest, most beautiful comic [strip] of all time." --Comic Revue

Prince Valiant is a high-art comic novel that follows the exploits of the iconic knight errant.

Originally created by Hal Foster and now sketched by award-winning creators Gary Gianni and Mark Schultz, Prince Valiant is an epic comic adventure that has maintained a continuous story line since its debut in 1937. Noted for its realistic panoramas and its intelligent, humorous narrative, Prince Valiant depicts events taken from various time periods spanning from the late Roman Empire to the High Middle Ages.

This collection follows Prince Valiant and his son Nathan as they prepare for battle following King Arthur's abdication. The knightly father and son encounter danger and adventure as they right wrongs throughout each step of their journey. Meanwhile, Aleta, Valiant's true love, holds court back at Camelot while facing challenges of her own. Prince Valiant appears weekly in more than 300 newspapers nationwide. Strips dating from November 21, 2004, to May 11, 2008 are included within this collection.

Gary Gianni graduated from the Chicago Academy of Fine Art and worked as an illustrator for both theChicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times. He was handpicked by Murphy to continue the strip in March 2004. He currently resides in Chicago, IL.
