Hal Foster finally gets respect in Windy City
Despite living in the Chicago area for nearly two decades, Hal Foster’s work, Prince Valiant was never published in the area newspapers, nor any of his art work been displayed in area museums. But one 78 year-old fan has worked to create an exhibit of 50 enlarged and restored reprints that will open Monday at the Skokie Public Library that will run through the summer.

I’m sure I won’t be the only one to catch that ‘Forester’ should be ‘Foster.’ Typos happen. You do an excellent job on your site!

Thanks for that catch, Gary. Blogging at 5 a.m. does have it’s draw backs. :)
