Thorgal Aegirsson, the series' protagonist, is a man of mysterious origins, found adrift at sea as an infant by Viking chieftain Leif Haraldson. Raised in the Viking culture but distinct due to his strange and otherworldly heritage, Thorgal grapples with his identity while facing both mortal and supernatural adversaries. These thrilling tales combine elements of myth, science fiction, and adventure, transporting readers to a world both familiar and fantastic. You'll witness the humble beginnings of Thorgal's story in 'Child of the Stars', and follow him through riveting adventures, treacherous betrayals, and heartbreaking sacrifices in later installments like 'The Archers' or 'The Island of Frozen Seas'. This collection not only charts Thorgal's journey but also delves into the lives of key characters like his wife Aaricia, their children, and the devious Kriss of Valnor, offering nuanced narratives filled with rich character development.
