“Hostage to Treachery”

Dell's Four Color #650 brings Hal Foster's swashbuckling Prince Valiant to vivid life in this 1955 adaptation, "Hostage to Treachery." Don Spaulding's cover painting places the armored, long-haired prince squarely at the center of a tense shipboard confrontation, sword drawn and shield raised against a crouching adversary amid the masts and rigging of an ancient vessel. It's a handsome, confidently painted scene that captures the scope and adventure that made this Arthurian-era hero such a compelling figure.
