Meet Hägar the Horrible — Terror of the North, Scourge of the Sea, and the most endearingly inept Viking to ever swing an axe — in this debut collection of over 250 comic strip adventures that launched one of the most beloved syndicated strips in newspaper history. Dik Browne's irresistible creation is a lovably bumbling barbarian who pillages by day and answers to his sharp-tongued wife Helga by night, straddling the line between fearsome warrior and henpecked husband with uproarious results. Browne's genius lies in his ability to mine timeless domestic comedy from the most unlikely of settings — ninth-century Scandinavia — crafting gags that resonate just as sharply today as when they first appeared in the 1970s. His clean, expressive line work and sharp wit earned Hägar the Horrible a place alongside Blondie and Hi and Lois in the pantheon of great American comic strips, ultimately reaching over 190 million readers in 58 countries. Whether you're a lifelong fan or a first-time raider, this collection promises laughs that are anything but horrible.
