==Reprints== [[File:Pvaliantbook1.jpg|right|thumb]] [[File:Fostermedieval.jpg|right|thumb|''The Medieval Castle'' (1957) collected the comic strip which ran beneath ''Prince Valiant'' from April 23, 1944 - November 18, 1945<ref name=Holtz>{{cite book |last1=Holtz |first1=Allan |title=American Newspaper Comics: An Encyclopedic Reference Guide |date=2012 |publisher=The University of Michigan Press |location=Ann Arbor |isbn=9780472117567 |page=258}}</ref> as a result of the government's WWII request that syndicates reduce strip size to save paper for the war effort. The three-panel strip followed the adventures of two young English squires, Arn and Guy, during the First Crusade.]] * Hastings House produced seven hardback ''Prince Valiant'' books in the 1950s, using the illustrations by Foster but with the text simplified by Max Trell and for the last two books by James Flowers. This series was reprinted in Germany as ''Prinz Eisenherz'' (Prince Ironheart) and continued there for an additional five volumes. * [[Woody Gelman|Nostalgia Press]] published four hardback reprints in conjunction with King Features. Some entire panels were colored solid pink or solid purple. * ''Prince Valiant: An American Epic'', from Manuscript Press, reprinted the first three years in three volumes, in the full original color and [[full page]] size. They also published a hardback omnibus of the three years, in a limited edition of 26 copies {{ISBN|0-936414-09-X}}, and a print of Hal Foster's last Prince Valiant page, so that all Foster pages would be available in full page format. * [[Fantagraphics]] published a set of 50 trade paperbacks reprinting all of the strips written by Hal Foster, including those drawn by John Cullen Murphy. * [[Andrews McMeel]] published ''Prince Valiant: Far from Camelot'', the only collection of creators Gary Gianni and Mark Schultz's current strips, dating from November 21, 2004, to May 11, 2008. * A French reprinting of all the Foster-drawn strips was published by Editions Zenda in a green cloth, embossed hardcover series with dustjacket. Featuring two years' worth of strips per volume, it was printed from the original color pages with typeset lettering. * ''Prince Valiant'' has often been reprinted in comic books. ''Feature Book'' #26 reprints most of the first year of the strip, and is the only comic book to have an original cover by Hal Foster. Many Foster strips were reprinted in the pages of [[Ace Comics]] and [[King Comics]]. Not reprints are seven [[Dell Comics|Dell]] four-color ''Prince Valiant'' comic books (#567, 650, 699, 719, 788, 849, 900) drawn by [[Bob Fujitani]],<ref>Prince Valiant, blogg by Roger Schaeder at [https://rogersmagasin.com/tecknade-serier-och-skamtteckningar/prins-valiant/#h-four-color-comic] (Rogersmagasin.com 2021-08-29)</ref> writer unknown. A 1973 ''Prince Valiant'' comic book reprinted Foster art with a simplified text intended to teach reading to children. * ''[[Prince Valiant (Fantagraphics)|Prince Valiant]]'' by [[Fantagraphics Books]] is a hardcover collection of the comic strip in full color, published since 2009. In 2018 they completed their reprint of all the Prince Valiant pages drawn by Hal Foster in eighteen volumes. This excluded his work for page 2000, published on June 8, 1975. By 2023, with a total of twenty-six volumes, they plan to finish reprinting all the pages written and penciled by Foster, drawn by John Cullen Murphy, which began near the beginning of Volume 18. The Dutch edition was published by Silvester Strips in a translation by comic strip artist Mark van Broekhoven.
