Thorgal

A sprawling fantasy-sci-fi epic from Carlsen Comics, Thorgal followed the titular hero—a mysterious outsider with a Viking upbringing—through decades of mythic adventure across a richly drawn world. Running for 31 issues from 1987 to 2010, the series was most frequently written by Jean Van Hamme and brought to life by the luminous, detailed art of Grzegorz Rosiński, whose work defined the book's visual identity. This long-running European series is celebrated for blending Norse legend with cosmic mystery, creating a deeply human saga that elevated the bande dessinée tradition.
