Hal Foster Prince Valiant Sunday Comic Strip Panel Original Art dated 3-5-38 (King Features Syndicate, 1938).

As I have never seen a complete Sunday from 1938 - and very few examples of single panels too, I am happy to add this beautiful panel with Val and his horse riding out on new adventures..
So if I should ever have a single panel from this early year THIS was simply it..!

Heritage Auction wrote : Please note that of all the Prince Valiant art Heritage has auctioned, we have never had a full Prince Valiant Sunday from 1938, and this is just the second time we have even had a single panel! Hal Foster often worked in such a large scale that this single Sunday panel from the 56th Prince Valiant comic strip measures 9.5" x 8", larger than some complete Sunday strips! When fans wrote the artist letters, he often sent them a single panel, such as this, as a "Thank You." This stunning example from the 3-5-38 Sunday strip, featuring the young Val on horseback, exiting a castle, is personalized and signed at the top of the image area, "To Bob Brown, From Hal Foster."
