In their island fortress, Kriss and Shaigan still reign over their band of pirates and raiders. But Shaigan is beginning to have doubts, and when a prisoner who knew him calls him Thorgal, the child of the stars begs the gods of Asgard to give him back his name and his destiny. In return, the gods require that Thorgal travel to the kingdom of giants and steal from their ruler… and then Thorgal will be Thorgal again.
Giant frikkin’ rat.  We Brits love something with rats in it -especially if it’s a giant rat. Doomwatch on 1970s British TV, The New Avengers -Purdy, Steed and Gambit in the sewers with a giant rat. James Herberts The Rats….I may be focussing a little too much on rats here.
As allways the art is wonderful and the story beyond criticism.  I never thought (wipe tear from eye) I’d see 14 Thorgal books in English. Fun, action, adventure, magic, science fiction -probably one of the best European BD series and if you have never bothered checking it out….I’m not talking to you.
Recommended as allways.
