ADVERTISING POSTER PRINCE VALIANT COMIC STRIP HERO SEIZE HIM!
Est: £300 - £600
Original vintage advertising poster for the comic strip hero Prince Valiant 'Seize Him'! Published by United Book Guild, 65 4th Avenue in New York City, NY (NYC). Harold Rudolf Foster (August 16, 1892 – July 25, 1982), better known as Hal Foster, was a Canadian-American comic strip artist and writer best known as the creator of the comic strip Prince Valiant. His drawing style is noted for its high level of draftsmanship and attention to detail. Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, Foster rode his bike to the United States in 1919 and began to study in Chicago, eventually living in America. In 1928, he began one of the earliest adventure comic strips, an adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs's Tarzan. In 1937, he created his signature strip, the weekly Prince Valiant, a fantasy adventure set in medieval times. The strip featured Foster's dexterous, detailed artwork; Foster eschewed word balloons, preferring to have narration and dialogue in captions. Prince Valiant in the Days of King Arthur, or simply Prince Valiant, is an American comic strip created by Hal Foster in 1937. It is an epic adventure that has told a continuous story during its entire history, and the full stretch of that story now totals more than 4000 Sunday strips. Currently, the strip appears weekly in more than 300 American newspapers, according to its distributor, King Features Syndicate. Good condition, tears and creases in margins. County: USA, year of printing:1965, designer: Hal Foster, size (cm): 132.5x81

Hal Foster “Tarzan” 1-8-33 Egyptian Sequence.
Est: $4,000 - $6,000
95. Hal Foster “Tarzan” 1-8-33 Egyptian Sequence. Accomplished in pen and ink on 21 x 27 in. artists’ leaf. The “Egyptian Sequence” is the greatest adventure comic strip storyline of all time. Any example from the 1932-34 period is superb. My love of Foster’s Tarzan continues to grow each and every year. Foster Tarzan is the very ultimate in artistic sophistication. Properly appreciating this strip really does separate the men from the boys, aesthetically speaking. Frazetta and Williamson were my teachers in that regard. This page was professionally conserved by Alvarez Conservation in NYC. Stains were removed and a tear was mended. “Foster is the father of us all.” Jose- Luis Salinas, artist of the Cisco Kid. The very first time I walked into the studio of Al Williamson I went to his drawing board. There was a beautiful Warren page that he was inking. On the floor next to his chair was a beaten-up comic book, heavily used and soiled. “What’s that, Al?” “Oh, that’s the Bible.” “The Bible!” “Yes, that book answers all my questions. If I have a problem, that’s the first place I go. All the answers are there.” The comic book Al was talking about was the Tarzan Single Series #20 book that contains reprints of Hal Foster’s Tarzan pages from the early 1930s. The influence of Hal Foster simply cannot be calculated. Every master of the field and every wannabe artist swiped constantly from Foster. He was the number one resource. And yet, in our field, Foster’s Tarzan is underappreciated and wildly undervalued by the wider audience. There are 2 reasons. One is that most people have rarely seen top-quality Foster Tarzan originals. Secondly, most of them were in deplorable condition because of mistreatment and improper storage. Most of the extant Tarzan originals came from 2 sources...George Roussos and Fred Ray. Both artists had large caches of these pages obtained directly from Foster and they gradually let them go into the art marketplace. Several collectors (in particular, myself, Russ Cochran, and Jack Gilbert) spent thousands of dollars to restore these treasures and save them for posterity. I had a dozen pages restored, including a fabulous 3-page dinosaur sequence for Al Williamson from 1932. The famous “Egyptian sequence” of pages from 1932-34 might be the finest strip art adventure ever drawn and certainly the most influential. Even the great Alex Raymond “borrowed” many motifs from Foster for use in his Flash Gordon strip. Note the gestures of Tarzan throughout the page. This was something new. His handling of the human form was fresh and experimental. The page, The Miracle, continues the furious action. Note the sophistication of the layout. The top banner showcases the two protagonists and foreshadows the content. The portrait of Tarzan on the top is sensational and captures the rugged good looks of the ape-man. Foster confided to Al Williamson that he borrowed the look of Tarzan from the old Buck Jones cowboy serials. Foster changes his vantage points from close-up to cinematic panoramas. The art is beautifully drawn and the historical details give a special atmosphere. Remember that this is really the birth of the adventure strip. Foster was creating from whole cloth. You can feel his juices being poured into the drama and cliffhanger endings. His compositional designs and storytelling are simply first rate. If you don’t “get” Tarzan by Foster, then you need to deepen your grasp of real art. Every page from this sequence is a great American treasure. Frazetta was equally fanatical about Foster. In the late forties he pursued George Roussos to get some Tarzan originals. Both he and Al wanted them desperately. Frank knew “the good stuff” at a very early age. Frank ultimately received 4 pages, all from the Egyptian sequence. If you look at this page carefully you can see the elements that would stay with Frazetta for his entire career. The upfront action, , the gravitas and authenticity of the settings and story; all these things defined the later Frazetta. I was fortunate to learn about Foster at the feet of men like Al and Frank. What an education that was! $4,000 - $6,000

La trogne des deux regardant le troisième, de dos, leur manière de poser la tête, l’échange des regards : on les dirait vivants ! Même chose pour celui qui se trouve dans le coin inférieur gauche dans l’avant-dernière case de la planche, case dont l’encrage est d’une rare beauté.

Est: €12,000 - €15,000
(Sunday Page - 15 octobre 1933) Hal Foster dans toute la splendeur de son art ! Le dessinateur de Tarzan conserve une telle souplesse au moment de son encrage que l’on pourrait presque croire cette panthère dotée de vie. Le combat que lui livre le Seigneur de la jungle est impressionnant, tant dans la mise en scène emphatique que dans la prouesse graphique qu’il représente. Cette planche fait partie de la séquence dite « égyptienne » qui a duré deux ans, incontestablement la meilleure période du dessinateur. L’image finale est un bel exemple d’équilibre, avec Tarzan de dos, au milieu de la case, en spectateur.
