Examples of Gianni’s work over the previous thirty years as a professional illustrator are included as well.Gianni’s 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 aficionado’s, those interested in the creation process, and enthusiasts of Gianni’s 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.

Gianni’s 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.
