Halmar

Halmar is a Dutch Bronze Age adventure comics hero, son of a sea wolf, whose action-packed stories were crafted by artist Don Lawrence for publisher Oberon. He navigates seafaring adventures alongside companions including Arad, Maya, and Distel.

Halmar burst onto the Dutch comics scene in 1980, the creation of Ted Cowan and the legendary Don Lawrence — an artist whose painterly mastery made everything he touched feel cinematic and alive. Debuting in Halmar de zoon van de zeewolf from publisher Oberon, this Bronze Age adventurer shares his world with a colourful cast including Sjimmie, Sjors, Arad, Maya, and Distel, and his stories found a home across both his own title and the beloved Sjors anthology. A character born from serious craft and a distinctly European comics tradition, Halmar is a rewarding discovery for anyone exploring the rich landscape beyond the American mainstream.
