Hal Foster ve své knize Zítra bude hůř nestaví na starých dobrých časech, ale na těch horších, které přicházejí. Maxima, jež si z rozhovoru s Bertoldem Brechtem poznamenal Walter Benjamin, se v analýze Hala Fostera nakonec neuskutečnila – mělo být hůř, ale není. Co se tedy avantgardě stalo? „Avantgarda, která mě zde zajímá, však v tomto smyslu není ani předvoj, ani týl, je spíš jízlivě imanentní. Daleka hrdinství, nenamlouvá si, že se od starého řádu může zcela oddělit, anebo že může nalézt jiný. Místo toho se snaží v daném řádu vystopovat již existující trhliny, vyvíjet na ně ještě větší tlak, a dokonce je i nějakým způsobem aktivovat. Tato avantgarda zdaleka není mrtvá, žije a daří se jí dodnes,“ analyzuje Hal Foster.

Postwar artists and writers grappled with the cultural void left by World War II and its aftermath, seeking a "brutal aesthetics" that reflects their harsh realities. Hal Foster delves into the concept of "positive barbarism," where modernist art serves as a means of survival amid devastation. He highlights influential figures like Georges Bataille, Jean Dubuffet, Asger Jorn, Eduardo Paolozzi, and Claes Oldenburg, exploring their efforts to simplify and expose art's essence as a way to rebuild in a broken world.

In this volume of the beloved newspaper strip based on Arthurian legend, it's election time for the King of Minstrels. A scoundrel has ruled over the continent's troubadours for the past three years, introducing scum and villainy into their ranks. Arn and Court Jester Sir Dinadan travel to France to set things right, while Prince Valiant accompanies the headstrong Gunther of Germany on his quest to recover stolen holy relics and claim a wife in Jerusalem. The mercenary army of a Persian warlord sweeps across the Middle East, forcing Queen Aleta to seek refuge in a hidden utopian city ruled by women.
