Röde orm

In Röde orm (1999–2004), Charlie Christensen adapts Frans G. Bengtsson’s classic Swedish Viking saga into a vivid comic series for Ordfront Galago. Spanning four issues, Christensen’s artwork brings the epic, wry adventures of the titular Norseman to life with a distinctive, expressive line and a keen sense of historical atmosphere. This series stands as a notable example of Scandinavian literary adaptation in comics, showcasing Christensen’s skill in translating a beloved novel’s humor and sweep into a sequential art form.
