Prince Valiant #1

Blackthorne's 1986 reprint series brings Hal Foster's beloved Arthurian adventure back to life, opening with a brooding close-up of Prince Valiant himself — clad in his signature red tunic, leaning pensively against a stone wall — while a small vignette in the upper corner shows an armored knight on horseback against the sky. Part of the Reuben Award Winner Series, this handsome Book One is a fine entry point into the richly illustrated world of Camelot, with John Cullen Murphy carrying on the strip's storied tradition through both pencils and inks.
