Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
The Prince Valiant Page is the first book collection featuring Gary Gianniâs work on Prince Valiant. This book gives a well-rounded informative look at both Gianniâs rendition of the Prince Valiant Sunday strip and his own working procedures. After 25 years as a professional illustrator, Gianni describes his new role as an assistant to John Cullen Murphy (who assisted Hal Foster--Prince Valiant's creator). Upon Murphy's retirement, Gianni became the third artist in the 70-year history of the feature. It continues with in-depth knowledge of the stripâs creative process (i.e., receiving the script, photographing models, making preliminary drawings and pencil roughs, then concluding with the finished illustrations). Supporting artwork includes collaborations between Murphy and Gianni, with Murphyâs hand written notes and instructions. Examples of Gianniâs work over the previous thirty years as a professional illustrator are included as well.
Gianniâs entertaining, insightful text reveals his methods and working relationships with Murphy and current Prince Valiant writer, Mark Schultz. Further, he explains the usage of his tools and provides many tips learned during the course of his career. Prince Valiant aficionadoâs, those interested in the creation process, and enthusiasts of Gianniâs artwork will all find this book appealing.
Most reproductions are direct from the original artwork, rendered with archival quality, and displayed in museum catalog format. Gianniâs originals are delineated using brush and pen. He utilizes these tools to create tones and variations often lost in the pure black and white reproduction methods characteristically employed in newspapers and comics. Gianniâs work has never been reproduced in this manner before. His full tonal range will be revealed for the first time.
This book includes three gatefolds of Prince Valiant strips in color to showcase the finished works.
