Description
Early Sunday dated in 1940.

This Sunday features some of his fantastic draftsmanship skills in the backgrounds as well as a charming close-up portrait in the center panel. Sir Gawain is the featured character, but Prince Valiant gets a very nice panel in the bottom left. The Sunday is produced in ink with red ink key lines over graphite on two sheets of Bristol board with a combined image area of 26" x 34".
The boards are toned, and there are some water stains in the bottom edge. There is a 3.5" rip in the top edge of the bottom section, and a 1.5" rip in the bottom edge. The logo is a printed paste-up header that has discolored, and there are some text correction paste-ups as well. Overall in Very Good condition.

Wonderful.  Every panel looks like it's etched in stone.

It looks like Foster spent a great amount of time on every panel and gave extra focus to expressing emotions whether by close up or by body language.  Especially nice is the center panel and the delicate work he does for the ladies.

Qué pasad de página, Rafa, Nada menos que del año 40. Y vaya comienzo de año que llevas. Se nota que el bote de Pasapalabra está dando mucho de sí.

Sensacional, tiene 3 viñetas que te quitan el hipo. Y a nivel de dibujo 1940 es uno de los mejores años. Ya me dirás de donde sacas estas joyas. Muchas felicidades.

Phenomenal Hal Foster Prince Valiant! Wow, could that guy draw! A lot of artists learned how to draw studying Foster's strips. He was one the true masters of the medium!
