Prince Valiant: The Prophecy

Rating:
Summary: The best adventure
Review: I'm not going to use 1,000 words. On the contrary because just a few are enough: Excellent work, great fun!. Forget about Harry Potter, this is it!.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent beginning to the Prince Valiant saga.
Review: This book starts the Prince Valiant saga with Val as a child, his family's escaped from Thule, and his early days in King Arthur's court. Not only is it a fascinating story, but it's beautifully illustrated as well. In fact, Hal Foster's skill as a graphic artist raised comic strips to a new level, never to be equalled since. His attention to detail, layout, and obvious historical accuracy is breathtaking. I love every edition of the series, and eagerly await each next arrival, but the first one is particularly interesting because it sets the foundations for the series. Also, you can see how his artistic and storytelling skills gradually improve later in the series, but that gives a certain charm to his earlier works. Long live Prince Valiant!
