The Big Book of Hägar the Horrible

A single, oversized collection from 1981, this Beaumont Book Co. volume assembles the earliest years of Dik Browne’s beloved, long-running newspaper strip Hägar the Horrible. As the first book-length compilation of the series, it preserves the debut of the bumbling Viking and his long-suffering family, capturing the gentle, gag-a-day humor that made the strip a classic. For fans of classic newspaper comics, it’s a foundational look at a character who has since become a staple of modern cartooning.
