Blodøks - "Første Saga"

Set in a grim, mythic version of Norway's Viking age, Blodøks follows the brutal rise of King Eirik Bloodaxe through a saga of violence and political cunning. Launched in 2002 by Bladkompaniet/Schibsted, this single-issue graphic novel was written by Morten Harper and illustrated by Geir Moen, offering a darkly atmospheric, historically inspired take on one of the country's most infamous rulers. It stands as a notable entry in modern Norwegian comics for its ambitious, cinematic storytelling and its unflinching portrayal of the era's harsh realities.
