Universally acclaimed as the most stunningly gorgeous adventure comic strip of all time, Prince Valiant ran for 35 years under the virtuoso pen of its creator, Hal Foster. It tells the story of a young prince and his adventures in King Arthur's England and beyond.

Today we're joined by illustrator and author, Jordan Holt to discuss the beginnings of the medieval adventurer Val as found in Volume 1 of the Fantagraphics Collection which covers the years 1937-1938 of the strip.
