Hägar the Horrible: The Nord Star

Dik Browne’s beloved Viking, Hägar the Horrible, sails into a new format with this 1987 Jove Books one-shot, The Nord Star. A single-issue comic rather than an ongoing series, it captures the long-running newspaper strip’s signature blend of domestic chaos and slapstick pillaging. Browne, the strip’s legendary writer and artist, brings his warm, wry humor to a standalone adventure that showcases why Hägar has endured as a comic icon. While brief, this volume offers a concentrated dose of the series’ timeless charm for fans of the bearded barbarian.
