A Graphic Novel by

 
 
Hal Foster's Prince Valiant, with its thrilling continuities of a noble knight in the days of King Arthur, began in newspapers in 1937 and continues to this day. Fantagraphics' deluxe, full-color library editions of Prince Valiant was initially intended to end with 2000's Volume 40, the final volume in which Foster was the chief architect of the strip's visual look.

Due to overwhelming public demand, however, Fantagraphics is continuing the series, reprinting strips written and roughed-out by Foster and finished by Foster's prodigous assistant, John Cullen Murphy. Each volume of Prince Valiant features close to a year's worth of full-page Sunday strips.

Volume 41 presents the "King of Atheldag," Cullen Murphy's first major story arc, reprinting strips from 1971-72.
