Prince Valiant in the Days of King Arthur, or simply Prince Valiant,
is an American comic strip created by Hal Foster in 1937. It is an epic adventure that has told a continuous story during its entire history, and the full stretch of that story now totals more
than 4000 Sunday strips. Currently, the strip appears weekly in more than 300 American newspapers, according to its distributor,
King Features Syndicate.
The Duke of Windsor called Prince Valiant the "greatest contribution to English literature
in the past hundred years". Generally regarded by comics historians as one of the most impressive visual creations ever syndicated, the strip is noted for its realistically rendered panoramas and the intelligent, sometimes humorous, narrative. The format does not employ word balloons.
Instead, the story is narrated in captions positioned at the bottom or sides of panels.
Events depicted are taken from various time periods, from the late Roman Empire to the High Middle Ages, with a few brief scenes from modern times (commenting on the "manuscript").
