Published by Fantagraphics

(W) Paul S. Newman (A) Bob Fujitani (CA) Bob Fujitani It was a singular honor when Bob Fujitani was tapped to draw the comic book adaptation of Prince Valiant, the big-budget 20th Century-Fox movie starring Robert Wagner. No one had ever before been permitted to draw Hal Foster’s classic. Then Fujitani and veteran scripter Paul S. Newman were asked to do another — and another — until they had completed a solid run of six more original issues. Now, unseen after more than 70 years, Fantagraphics returns this rare run of all seven Prince Valiant comic books to print for the first time. Prince Valiant: Peril of the Round Table features seven spectacular adventures, with all the scope, majesty, and chivalry of the thrilling days of King Arthur. Follow Valiant as he starts out as a squire to a knight of the Round Table and falls in love, only to see his beloved Aleta betrothed to another. Six more high-adventure quests and battles round out this volume, all lovingly restored from the original printings for a new generation of readers.

Kane (A) Hal Foster (CA) Hal Foster The second volume of this six-part collection of annotated, never-before-seen sketches by Prince Valiant creator Hal Foster continues the series’ project of revealing in intimate detail the act of creating this landmark comic strip. Part sketchbooks, part biography, part tutorial, part memoir — Hal Foster’s Prince Valiant Sketchbooks are an unprecedented revelation of Foster’s personal life and creative process during his final nine years on the strip, as well as a fascinating look behind the curtains as Foster coached and interacted with his chosen successor: John Cullen Murphy. Beautifully, meticulously designed and produced with the full participation of the Murphy family, this series is a testament to author and Prince Valiant historian Brian M. Kane’s research prowess and determination to bring Foster’s aesthetic and storytelling strategies to light. Over the course of these volumes, Kane annotates with painstaking clarity and thoroughness 366 penciled layout pages, 40 character sketches, and 577 text pages of Foster’s descriptions of each panel. Also featured are an additional 143 pieces of art, mostly by Foster, 100 photographs detailing his life and career, and 123 personal letters and notes, all adding immeasurably to this exploration of Foster’s life and art, as well as his collaboration with Murphy.

Updates

I recently updated the list of links to interviews on Paul Cornell's Captain Britain and MI13 and Demon Knights in the blog margin.

I confess, I have not been following Demon Knights (which is now soliciting issue 11) as of yet (as I'm waiting for the collected edition), but I thank Jason Tondro for his insight this weekend at PCA into the series.

There is a preview of the latest issue of Demon Knights online at http://kotaku.com/5900415/cranky-merlin-hates-all-the-magical-flirting-in-this-demon-knights-8-preview. This issue is the first part of the series' second arc.

DC's Galahad Update

DC has recently released the second volume of J. T. Krul's initial run on Green Arrow. As posted previously, the story features a character named Galahad and also Arthurian mainstays Jason Blood and Etrigan. Galahad does not (in the end) turn out to be the Arthurian figure, but his arc recalls that of both Parry in The Fisher King and David McIntyre in Babylon 5's "A Late Delivery from Avalon", in that he has retreated into an Arthurian identity following a traumatic experience and very much lives up to that ideal in his ongoing quest to protect the essense of the White Lantern in this tie-in to The Brightest Day crossover event.

Here are the details on the two collected editions:

GREEN ARROW: INTO THE WOODS
DC Universe 192pg. Color Hardcover $22.99 US
Written by J.T. KRUL; Art by DIOGENES NEVES and VICENTE CIFUENTES; Cover by MAURO CASCIOLI

A new era begins in this title spinning out of BRIGHTEST DAY, from the first six issues of the hot new series. After Star City was devastated by an attack by the villain Prometheus in the pages of JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRY FOR JUSTICE, the White Lantern Ring gave birth to a massive, mysterious forest located at the center of the destruction. Now, Green Arrow lives in the woods and strikes against crime and corruption as a modern day Robin Hood.

GREEN ARROW: SALVATION
DC Universe 192pg. Color Hardcover $22.99 US
Written by J.T. KRUL and JASON PATRICK; Art by DIOGENES NEVES and AGUSTIN PADILLA; Cover by RODOLFO MIGLIARI

After the events of BRIGHTEST DAY, Oliver Queen has stood as the guardian of a mysterious forest that has sprouted in the middle of Star City! In this new volume collecting issues #8-15, Green Arrow defends the forest as a modern day Robin Hood from all that would do it harm. But how will Oliver's actions pave the way for Earth's new protector?

Demon Knights Update

Over the course of this weekend, I've come across some material on DC Comics's new series Demon Knights by writer Paul Cornell. DC now includes solicitations up to number 4. Praised by a number of critics including PopMatter's shathley Q, the series features Jason Blood/Etrigan, Madame Xanadu, Vandal Savage, and Ystina, the Shining Knight and opens at the fall of Camelot.

First up, David Uzumeri of Comics Alliance comments on its reworking of continuity in the wake of the Flashpoint event; he notes elsewhere that the new Stormwatch series (also by Cornell) is tied to Demon Knights by virtue of its founding by Etrigan.

While, shathley Q offers a more detailed commentary for PopMatters that establishes what he sees as the series strengths.

I welcome news of further comments/reviews on the series.
