Inscription. Prince Valiant in the Days of King Arthur is celebrated as one of the world’s first action-adventure newspaper strips. It was created in 1937 by Nova Scotian artist Harold Rudolf Foster.

Foster was born hereabouts on Lower Water Street in 1892 and credited his happy childhood playing on the Halifax waterfront for the spirit of adventure in his enduring art.

“I spent so much time on the waterfront that I still exhale a pungent aroma of tarred rope and dried codfish.”- Hal Foster
