From 1971 on, Murphy drew the strip from Foster scripts and pencil sketches. Foster continued to write the continuity until strip #2241 in 1980. Murphy then drew it solo with scripts by his son [[Cullen Murphy]], an editor of ''[[The Atlantic]]''. Stories by Cullen Murphy included many adventures in which Val is opposed by the Emperor Justinian. John Cullen Murphy's daughter, Mairead, did the lettering and coloring. In March 2004, Murphy retired and turned the strip over to his chosen successor, illustrator [[Gary Gianni]]. Scripting duties were passed on to [[Mark Schultz (comics)|Mark Schultz]] with Scott Roberts providing the coloring.<ref name=companion/> Schultz continued as the writer when [[Thomas Yeates]] began as the strip's artist on April 1, 2012.
