<B>Hal Foster - Prince Valiant Partial Sunday Comic Strip #1313 Original Art, dated 4-8-62 (King Features Syndicate, 1962).</B></I> This lot features the art for the top and bottom panel tiers of this superb 1962 Sunday. Hal Foster drew the <I>Prince Valiant</B></I> pages quite large, and it was his common studio practice to cut the art pages between the panel borders of each of the three tiers. This made for ease of drawing during the inking stage, and also for handling the art in the production process. Often, Foster would cut individual panels out of his Sundays to give to his fans, so that acquiring a complete tier has become a bit of a coup. In addition to these five wonderful panels of art, this lot also includes the hand painted color guides done in three tiers, the four paper printing plates, to be used by a newspaper for the four-color printing process, a full-sized black and white printer's proof, and a full-sized color proof of the Sunday. The art is in great condition, but there are some minor stains on panel two of tier one. The type captions are paste-on lettering, some of the captions are loose, and a missing line of type has slipped off of panel two of tier one. There is some minor glue-staining of the paste-on Prince Valiant logo. The overall size of the art paper is 11.5" x 25" with an image area of 11" x 22.75" on each of the two tiers, and the art is in Very Good condition. The overall size of the paper printing plates and the proof pages is 17.5" x 25" each. This is a wonderful <I>Prince Valiant</B></I> lot with images of Val, Arn, a gargoyle, horses, and a castle. This Sunday was done while Hal Foster was still at the height of his artistic powers, setting the illustration standards for this comic strip. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Large (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
