This copy is a # 223 out of a 450 copies limited edition. It has # 986-1038 of the full Sunday Pages from 1956 (?) plus an article of about 10 pages.

"PRINCE VALIANT Jubilee Edition Hardcover English Version
In 1995 a German publisher, "Splitter Verlag" in Munich, began a series of deluxe hard cover books reprinting facsimile Sunday pages of Prince Valiant. Each book reproduces a complete year of Hal Foster's epic knights in armour adventure, in their original splendour - all pages are in full color.

The reproduction is absolutely superb and each original Sunday page is printed in full color on heavy coated luxury paper stock and bound in super dark blue hard cover board. 1937 reprints the Original Sunday pages #1 - 46. 56 pages. Hard Cover (15" x 12") Full Color ISBN: 3931758087"

These editions are incredibly hard to find because a part of the print run was destroyed - it is easily one of the most sought after collector's item for Prince Valiant fans around the world.
