Valhalla #12

The beloved Danish comic series Valhalla reaches its twelfth chapter with "Gennem ild og vand" ("Through Fire and Water"), a 2001 entry from Carlsen with writer-artist Peter Madsen and colorist Jesper Ejsing bringing their signature warmth to the Norse mythology-inspired saga. Madsen handles both the writing and the artwork here, keeping the creative vision tightly unified. With a title evoking trials of the most elemental kind, this installment promises the kind of adventure that has made Valhalla a cherished fixture in Scandinavian comics.
