Iconic “Prince Valiant” art by Hal Foster sells at auction for over $70,000
One of the most famous Prince Valiant comic strips by the legendary Hal Foster was auctioned at Nate D. Sanders Auctions this week, and sold for a staggering $70,461. While interest in the strip is high in its 80th anniversary year, the final sale amount is an indication, yet again, of how collectible some comic art is.
Published 28th May 1939, this episode is considered one of the greatest pieces of artwork by Hal Foster in his career, the original artwork for the 120th ‘Prince Valiant‘ Sunday comic strip. In this instantly recognisable piece – featured on the cover of Fantagraphics‘ Prince Valiant Volume 2: 1939-1940 and in numerous ”Prince Valiant” publications, the panel of Andelkrag Castle often used to demonstrate Foster’s superb technique from the early years of the strip – Val sees the foreboding castle of Andelkrag in person, surrounded by Huns as they prepare to attack it.
The six panel strip measures 26” x 34.5”, (the large Andelkrag panel measures 17” x 21” by itself), with incredible detail showing the seemingly impregnable fortress, the mountains behind it, the flames roiling up aside it and Prince Valiant standing upon a hillside, gazing at its beauty and enormity. In this strip, Val makes his approach and plunges into the river moat at darkness, to find a fire-raft built by the Huns in order to destroy Andelkrag’s bridge.
As Prince Valiant destroys their handiwork, the Huns vow revenge in return…
The artwork is signed by Hal Foster on the second panel, inscribed to ”Edward W. Larson / with friendly greetings / Hal Foster” and the lot was accompanied by the colour newsprint of this artwork and two ”Prince Valiant” books featuring this strip.
Hal Foster created epic adventure and romantic fantasy in his legendary Sunday strip, Prince Valiant, for 35 years. Realistic in its visual execution and noble in its subject, depicting a time in which the fabled warriors of history and legends fought together for the greater good, it remains one of the great masterpieces of the medium.
