Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Harold Rudolf Foster was a Canadian-American cartoonist who signed his work Hal Foster. He was most famous as the creator of the comic strip Prince Valiant. Foster worked as a staff artist for the Hudson''s Bay Company in Winnipeg and moved to Chicago in 1919 where he studied at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts and soon found illustration assignments. Foster''s Tarzan comic strip, adapted from Edgar Rice Burroughs'' novels, began January 7, 1929, continuing until Rex Maxon took over the Tarzan daily on June 10, 1929. Foster returned to do the Tarzan Sunday strip beginning September 27, 1931, continuing until Burne Hogarth took over the Sunday Tarzan on May 9, 1937. He soon grew tired of adaptation and began planning his own creation. William Randolph Hearst, who had long wanted Foster to do a comic for his newspapers, was so impressed with Foster''s pitch for Prince Valiant that he promised Foster the ownership of the strip if he would start the series, a very rare offer in those days. The strip began February 13, 1937, continuing for decades.
