Hägar der Schreckliche #[27]

A delightful German-language collection of Dik Browne's beloved Viking strip, this Goldmann edition carries the subtitle Mehr Glück als Verstand — "More Luck Than Sense" — which perfectly captures the good-natured chaos on the cover. The preview panels show Hägar in full horned-helmet glory alongside what appears to be his wife Helga and a small child, with the punchline landing on a very happy barrel of ale marked "XXXX." Published in 1998, it's a cheerful showcase of Browne's knack for wringing timeless domestic comedy out of a bumbling but lovable Norse warrior.
