Hal Foster
Harold Rudolf Foster (August 16, 1892 – July 25, 1982), better known as Hal Foster, was a Canadian-American comic book artist and writer best known as the creator of the comic strip ''Prince Valiant''. His drawing style is noted for a high level of draftsmanship and attention to detail.
Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, Foster rode his bike to the United States in 1919 and began to study in Chicago, eventually living in America. In 1928, he began one of the earliest adventure comic strips, an adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs's ''Tarzan''. In 1937, he created his signature strip, the weekly ''Prince Valiant'', a fantasy adventure set in medieval times. The strip featured Foster's dextrous, detailed artwork; Foster eschewed word balloons, preferring to have narration and dialogue in captions.
==Early life==
Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Foster was a staff artist for the Hudson's Bay Company in Winnipeg and rode his bike to Chicago in 1919 where he studied at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts and soon found illustration assignments. The illustrator J. C. Leyendecker was an early influence on Foster.〔.〕
Foster's ''Tarzan'' comic strip, adapted from Edgar Rice Burroughs's novels, began October 20, 1928. 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 working on an adaptation and began planning his own creation.
