(PROGRAMME thousand words. 7 JANUARY 2010)
Today, a day later that even the Republicans have felt monarchists (except my friend Ignacio), I want to continue this tradition and speak of another royal dynasty, that of Brave, Prince.

In 1937, after a change of publisher, was born to age Prince Valiant, translated into English as Prince Valiente, where adjective and proper name is confusing. This series has had a very long life and was exclusively in the hands of Harold Foster until 1971. From that year until 1980, he collaborated on the screenplays, later, shortly before his death he left forever Valiant.

The story told is that of Valiente, heir to the kingdom of Thule, installed in the England of King Arthur where he meets Lancelot, Gawain, Arthur, and other components Arthurian legend. Not only develops his adventures in the V century England, but travels to other continents, he meets his beloved, Queen of the Misty Isles, and grows to Val we have known since I was a child, until now, a man weathered by time, travel and adventure, Arn's father, his successor.
Despite being a classic, you can find great reprints of this comic in English. Buru Lan, Planet, Bruguera, Pencil, Paper, have done a great job speaking compilation of the wonders of the purists of the series, which have a recovery to the original color, as if it were a Renaissance painting.
this influences realistic picture, full of details and manicured, are vast. Already in his time, another great classic, as Alex Raymond, Flash Gordon, was influenced by this type of drawing and setting, copying to how to develop close-ups and text boxes in the manner of silent films. Frank Frazetta and Victor Mora, with Captain Thunder, other artists have been influenced by this work. In the cinema has been at least two adaptations, and comics as Sigurd the Viking or Haggarth directly drink from this source.
