Who is Wulf Sternhammer?

Wulf Sternhammer is a giant, good-natured Viking warrior from the far future who became the loyal companion of the time-traveling bounty hunter Johnny Alpha in the pages of IPC's Starlord. Together they pursued dangerous criminals across time and space.

Born in the pages of Starlord in 1978, Wulf Sternhammer is a Bronze Age original conjured into existence by the legendary partnership of John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra β€” the same creative force behind some of British comics' most iconic work. Over nearly five decades, this 2000 AD stalwart has racked up 218 catalog appearances and eight key-issue credits, a testament to the kind of staying power that turns characters into institutions. He shares his corner of the galaxy with an extraordinary roster β€” Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper, SlΓ‘ine, The Gronk, and Ukko among them β€” which tells you everything about the rarefied company he keeps on the Thrill-powered pages of 2000 AD. If you're serious about British comics history, Wulf Sternhammer is absolutely worth your time.
