Exiled as a boy from his native land of Thule, Prince Valiant grew up in the vast fens of fifth century Britain before discovering his calling and destiny as a knight of King Arthur’s storied Round Table. As inquisitive and intelligent as he is handy with a sword, Val rights wrongs and adventures across both the known and unknown medieval world. Along the way, he finds and marries the love of his life, Aleta, Queen of the Misty Isles, and fathers a family of equally adventuresome offspring. All of whom test his patience and bruise his ego to one degree or other such are families in any era.
Created in 1937 by the immortal Hal Foster, Prince Valiant continues strong to this day as the pinnacle of comic strip adventure storytelling. Balanced between the excitement and danger of medieval knightly derring-do and the domestic complexities surrounding a high-spirited family, Val has little time for rest and his devoted readership would have it no other way.
As representatives of Camelot, Val, Aleta and the roguish ladies’ man, Sir Gawain, have seen adventures taking them throughout barbarian-plagued Europe; from the wilderness of Pictland to crumbling Rome and prospering Byzantium; from far Cathay to the unnamed Americas; from Ab’Saba in limitless Africa to Jerusalem and the sands of the Holy Land.
Equally adept with both his brains and brawn, Prince Valiant carries forth the ideals of Camelot as beacons of light and civilization in an often dark and violent age. As such, he remains an instantly identifiable and much beloved hero for generation after generation.
Prince Valiant began in full-color tabloid sections on Saturday February 13, 1937. The first full page was strip #16, which appeared in the Sunday New Orleans Times Picayune. The internal dating changed from Saturday to Sunday with strip #66 (May 15, 1938). The full-page strip continued until 1971 when strip #1788 was not offered in full-page format—it was the last strip Foster drew. The strip continues today by other artists in a half page format.

I would like to read ALL of Prince Valiant from strip 1. I have all the Fantagraphics paper bound volumes. That takes me to 1980. I have just subscribed the Comics Kingdom. That begins at 1996. So I need coverage from 1980 to 1995. I am not expecting Fantagraphics to completely publish their hard cover editions for these years until 2024.
I have downloaded the files from this web site. Those files contain MOST of the strips for 1980-1995. Missing are the years 1991-1993. Can anyone help me get those years.
Thanks in advance.

Your request leads me to try to explain the situation:
As you may have noticed (see Buz Sawyer and Rip Kirby’s page) I managed to get a group together to try to recover and finish the stories of several comics.
As I am the one who finishes and releases the stories to the site, from the moment that our dear boutje777 downloads and releases them, for reasons of space in my Mediafire account, I am obliged to delete the links of the stories sent, because in the meantime there are already links on the site for downloading, this of course so that I can upload to my account new stories prepared.
This process is used, and my links are only active for the time between my launch and the launch of boutje777.
If you check at the top of the page you have links for what you want
Regards
Ar

Wow, that’s quite a find! For Hal Foster fans, this book contains his last 3 pages: 1773, 1776 and his famous Swan Song 1788. The others were done by Gray Morrow and J.C. Murphy. Do you know where I can find 50’s, 60’s and 1970 Prince Valiant strips in English? I’ve been looking for ages for them. Thank you.
