Thorgal #2

The second volume of this beloved Belgian series brings Jean Van Hamme and Grzegorz Rosiński's Norse adventurer to "Het Eiland der Bevroren Zeeën" — The Island of the Frozen Seas. Rosiński's cover art arrests the eye immediately: a massive Viking helmet dominates the foreground, its red-plumed crest vivid against a wintry white expanse, while behind it a dark-haired warrior leads a group of figures through a blizzard, a bird of prey soaring overhead. Published by Le Lombard in 1980, this is Thorgal at its atmospheric best — cold, mythic, and utterly compelling.
