By Gary Gianni. Foreword by Mike Mignola. Signed & numbered, 1000.
Modern illustration master Gianni opens the vaults to his work on the legendary Prince Valiant comic strip. Gianni assumed the helm of the strip after working as an assistant to John Cullen Murphy (who was assistant to Prince Valiant creator Hal Foster). Every aspect of the new era of the strip is covered here, with a particular focus on Gianni's preliminary sketches and production methods. Every page is bursting with rough pencil sketches, reference photos and, best of all, finished inked renderings. Printed with more advanced techniques than most newspapers use, these sketches actually have more depth and clarity than the published dailies, giving even more brilliance to Gianni's classic style. Includes an insightful introduction by Robert Wagner. This edition is signed by Gianni and comes in an attractive slipcase.
