Karl the Viking #2

This second volume in the Don Lawrence Collection brings together more of Karl the Viking's Norse adventures under the striking subtitle "Powers of Helvud," with the included story "The False God" hinting at clashing beliefs and mythic confrontation. Written by Ted Cowan and rendered in full by Don Lawrence, whose cover work here is characteristically bold in its stark black-and-green presentation, this 2008 collection showcases a creative partnership that gave Viking adventure comics a genuinely distinctive visual identity. A fine addition for readers exploring the breadth of Don Lawrence's storied career.
