Prince Valiant: Far from Camelot.
I bought this from a bargain-shelf at a comic shop. I remember reading PV in newspapers when I was a kid. I didn't stick with it because it seemed a long series of non-events and the art was downgraded when on newsprint.
this book, however, is one of my favorites. I'd rate it higher than all my
Savage Sword of Conan omnibuses. I think this latest PV is best because of the format. there are no dialog bubbles, no thought bubbles. the entire story is contained in narrative captions.
the other thing I noticed is that the book is a collection of strips. the first panel on every page gives a quick summary of the last strip. the last panel on every page is a preview of the next strip. I really liked it because, I had the book memorized after reading it once. reading a continuous story in strips actually makes you read the same content 2 or 3 times.
Prince Valiant is very light/fun reading and the artwork is superb. Gianni (illustrator) is every bit as good as Alfredo Alcala when it comes to inks.
I wish I could find
Ivanhoe in a collected strip like this.
