Solruns Saga #1

"Pesta" kicks off with a chilling tale rooted in Norwegian medieval folklore, where the Black Death takes on a terrifying, almost mythic form. Written by Eirik Ildahl and brought to life by Bjørn Ousland’s striking artwork—both in pencils and inks—this 1988 issue from Bladkompaniet presents a haunting vision of fear made manifest. The cover, also by Ousland, captures the dread of a land under siege by a force both ancient and grotesque.
