Thorgal #12

Rosinski and Van Hamme's beloved Norse-adventure series reaches a haunting emotional peak with this Norwegian-language edition of Den onde guden ("The Evil God"). Rosinski's cover painting is breathtaking — a bare-chested Thorgal cradles a fallen, fair-haired woman on a stone floor while an ethereal, ghostly figure looms above them both in shafts of pale green light, arms outstretched in an almost divine or menacing pose. Published by Casablanca in 1993, this volume captures the atmospheric tension and quiet sorrow that makes Thorgal one of European comics' most enduring series.
