Special issue featuring legendary Prince Valiant
creator HAL FOSTER and Liberty Meadows creator
FRANK CHO!
Comic Book Marketplace #89 features a major article on
the life and career of HAL FOSTER, artist on Tarzan (1931-37) and
Prince Valiant (1937-1980). Despite his standing as one of the pre-eminent comic
strip artists of all time, no complete, well-researched biographies have been
written about Foster. Now, author Brian Kane has written what will surely become
the major reference work on his life and career in a new book from Vanguard
Press. The book is due to hit this fall, and CBM #89 will contain a review of
the book by Russ Cochran along with photos and excerpts from the book.
What makes hot young artist FRANK CHO so popular with comic strip veterans
like AL WILLIAMSON? His daily and Sunday Liberty Meadows strips (and their comic
book counterpart) have regularly poked fun at classic comic strips
(Peanuts, Cathy, Tarzan, and others, including Prince
Valiant), but the established masters of the form seem to love him. What's
behind the pop culture machine that is Frank Cho? Find out about that, the
success of his recent coffee table books, and the final fate of Liberty
Meadows in Comic Book Marketplace #89!
