I even bought the Manuscript Press Super Sized 3 vol set from
Bud plant back in the day.

I went further and bought a Louis Marx Prince Valiant Castle set and the hard to find Mattel Prince valiant sword, scabbard and shield set.

Lastly, I have a copy of the only piece of Comic Art that Hal Foster ever drew for the Comics, the Cover of Feature Books # 26.

So yeah, PV is My choice...


I used to enjoy and read the entire Sunday comics many moons ago, not so much these days. I enjoyed the Prince Valiant stories. In the 70s and 80s several newspapers turned their comics into a comic book format so they could provide more strips to their readers. I recently bought The Sunday Bulletin comic book series from the Norwich Connecticut Bulletin. It's ultra cool to see PV, Phantom, Spidey, and tons of other funnies from days past. I have Vol 1 #1 thru #40 (1981) and Vol 2 #1 thru #30.

Ok, I must be doing something wrong. The exact same photo I posted above is in my Samsung galaxy note 5 gallery. When I zoom in on that one the text and artwork are sharp and clear. Yet when I click the image above and zoom it the comics seem blurry?

They are a blast, turns out I had two extra issues I didn't know about: vol 2 #31 & #32. Got a great deal on the whole set came out to around $1 a book. I've decided to bag and board all 72 copies but will take my time flipping thru them.

The more I read about The Heap, the more he grows on me. Starting to really enjoy the original swamp creature.
