Thorgal #33

Thorgal #33 brings "Statek miecz" to Polish readers in a 2011 edition that immediately announces itself with Grzegorz Rosiński's breathtaking cover — a lone musher pressed forward through a blinding snowstorm, his team of huskies surging ahead with raw determination, while the ghostly silhouette of a Viking longship looms through the blizzard behind them. The collision of sled-dog urgency and Norse seafaring imagery sets a mood of frozen, high-stakes adventure that the long-running series does so well. With Rosiński handling full art duties and Yves Sente and Wojciech Birek on the script, this is a handsome volume for any fan of European comics.
