Prince Valiant Artists Illustrators Hardcover Special #19 Limited Edition

Now is your first chance ever to own part of history as we delve into the greatest comics strip created by Hal Foster, exploring its origin, the colouring process and showcase samples from original artwork and the colour proofs, many scanned at their actual size.

But that is not all: we also feature all the artists that followed Foster from John Cullen Murphy to Gary Gianni and the current artist Thomas Yeates, with samples of their work scanned from their original artboards. In addition we interview Cullen Murphy who wrote the script for many years after Foster retired, Meg Nash who coloured the strip from 1991 until her father John Cullen Murphy retired in 2004, Mark Schultz the current writer and Scott Roberts the colourist since 2004. Plus lots more!

This is a limited Special edition of just 1000 copies.

More like a book than a magazine, illustrators is an art quarterly devoted to stunning illustration art. With its unique blend of art and insight, it guides you through the stories behind the artists and their art, with features written by some of the leading authorities on this important art form.

As well as building into an indispensable reference library, illustrators gives readers an insight into the creative process, from the initial idea to the image potentially seen by millions.

Truly fabulous artwork abounds in every issue, much of the art taken from scans of the original work. A Book Palace Books publication.
