Book Reviews of The Prince Valiant Page
Book Review: A Look from the Inside
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a terrific introduction to the difficulties of putting a story into an illustrated- visual form. Gary Ganni does a great job with the text, which is a pleasant surprise for an artist. When one sees the scope of his work it is easily seen why the Foster illustrations of the 40s and 50s looked better. From the designer's point of view he had a lot more space to deal with. The current funnies are a fourth page that make production much more challenging. It is also apparent that all three of the illustrators who have worked on the series are master craftsmen and cannot be fairly compared as they were appealing to vastly different audiences with different technologies. The similarity of Gianni to Foster is readily apparent in THE PRINCE VALIANT PAGE in the expanded reproductions of his preliminary pencil sketches and ink drawings . The most salient difference that I can see is the coloring. Foster's work is with water color while the pictures in this book appear to be computer generated. Any enthusiast of the series will covet this book.
