And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Hal Foster — Prince Valiant panel — Cresting the High Wave; 1940s
Before the Sunday strips were available in bound collections, I used to travel into the Boston Public Library to read their back copies of the Sunday pages (mostly on microfilm) for the Prince Valiant and Flash Gordon Sunday color pages. Today all of Fosters Sunday strips are available collected in 18 volumes: Publisher : Fantagraphics; 1st edition (August 18, 2009) Language : English Hardcover : 120 pages ISBN-10 : 1606991418 ISBN-13 : 978-1606991411
Another excellent example of the stunning style of illustration!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had talent. Any talent.
Dan, do you have the talent to try?
DeletePrince Valiant, an adult comic strip. Not only are the illustrations great but the dialogue occasionally requires a dictionary.
