(Such was its popularity that today, decades after Foster's death, it continues to run under different hands.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The giant Sunday-funnies pages (\u003cem\u003eValiant\u003c\/em\u003e ran only on Sundays) gave Foster a huge canvas upon which he was able to limn epic swordfights, stunning scenes of pomp and pageantry, and some of the most beautiful human beings--male and female--ever to appear in comics. And he matched his nonpareil visual sense with the narrative instincts of a born storyteller, propelling his daring young hero from one crisis to another with barely a panel to catch one's breath.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePrince Valiant\u003c\/em\u003e has previously been widely available only in re-colored, somewhat degraded editions (now out of print and fetching collectors' prices).
