INSPIRATIONS
comics
Righteous sources of inspiration can be sources of great happiness, enlightenment, refuge and escape from our dark world. Although imperfect, they nevertheless guide us in our journey in life. They are like stars lighting the narrow path for us to travel in the great darkness around us. Thus, they should be greatly valued, for they give us the hope and guidance to reach for the unattainable.
Below is a sampling of sources of inspiration which have kept me company in my own journey.

PRINCE VALIANT by Hal Foster
"I grew up reading Hal Foster, so I always looked forward to Sunday's big comic strip and disappearing into the world of King Arthur and Prince Valiant." —Charles Vess
"Doing covers for Prince Valiant was a huge challenge because I grew up in the era when comic strips were a huge part of everyone's Sunday morning. Hal Foster's unsurpassed artistry and masterful storytelling became the standard by which I judged all others. There will simply never be another comic strip to compare with Prince Valiant."
—Mike Grell

TARZAN by Hal Foster
"Hal Foster's artwork had the ability to communicate pictorially to me, on a level that Tarzan was absolutely real. Despite the fact that the comic strip is a series of still pictures, Foster brought the characters and places to life."
