Vikings,
Nordic Gods, sorceresses, drakkars, princesses…. You will find all
this and more in Jean Van Hamme and Grzegorz Rosinski’s cornerstone
saga. The lowly Thorgal has the gall to love Aaricia, the daughter of
the Chief. Condemned to death, he makes a pact with a sorceress to
save his life. Thus begins an adventure on the fringes of reality. A
quintessential cursed hero, Thorgal will have to confront fantastical
and extraordinary forces in this mythical world. This series gave
birth to Franco-Belgian heroic fantasy – not to be missed!
Thorgal Vol. 0 - The Betrayed Sorceress
The first two volumes of the adventures of Thorgal, published in 1980, translated into English at last in this retroactively numbered double volume. Thorgal’s coming-of-age is painfully similar to the rest of his life: the young man finds himself tied to the stone of sacrifice by Gandalf the Mad, king of the Vikings of the North and father of his beloved Aaricia. There, the Child of the Stars can do nothing but wait for the coming tide – and death. Until, that is, a mysterious sorceress with flaming red hair comes to offer him a deal: his life, and revenge, for one year in her service.
