Thorgal Tome 1 - Album

In the wild and inhospitable European far north, in the land of Scandinavian myths and runic legends, Viking warriors discover a child in a space capsule. Leif Haraldson adopts him and gives him the names of his gods: Thorgal Aegirsson, son of Thor (god of lightning) and son of Aegir (master of the sea). Upon Leif's death, the Viking chief Gandaif the Insane keeps Thorgal away from others. Only the friendship of Aaricia, the daughter of Gandait, brightens up Thorgal's solitary childhood.
