A humorous and telling letter from Hal Foster to Milton Caniff. Two artists whose drawing styles couldn’t have been more different.

Foster’s Tarzan is less static than Valiant. I’ll post a few examples.
just wondering who got the best of the swap-financially speaking only-my guess is caniff. artistically speaking-and the art is that of a narrative comic strip hands down foster got the better deal. foster was an illustrator not a comic stripper. kurtzman and woody did him to perfection, and in my mind raymond was the creme de brulee of all these guys. i hope a raymond sunday would also beat out both those other guys financially also i think mainstream art media vastly overrates foster.youth wants to know.
