50 Comics Positives In 2012: Prince Valiant Turned 75

It's still being produced by a crew of fine, quality craftsmen, while the original Foster run is enjoying something of a critical reconsideration as it slowly sees a proper archival release from Fantagraphics. There was a time when a lot of serious comics fans considered Prince Valiant the greatest accomplishment in the medium's history; that time wasn't so long ago.
