Seventy-five years ago artist Harold R. Foster partnered with King Features to tell the epic adventures of
Prince Valiant in the Days of King Arthur. After years of working on
Tarzan, Foster wanted his own strip to write and draw, with his own characters fulfilling their destinies according to him. Today the strip is still going strong. Writer
Mark Schultz, artists
Gary Gianni and
Tom Yeates, and comics historian
R. C. Harvey talk to
Tom Spurgeon about the enduring legacy of Foster's creation, still present in the Sunday funnies and more popular than ever in reprints of the original strips.
