Thorgal: The Talisman

Thorgal: The Talisman

from Thorgal: Child of the Stars
Ink Publishing / The Donning Company, 1986

Another early Thorgal adventure, originally published by Lombard as Le Talisman in 1984 in the album de bande dessinee L'Enfant des étoiles. 

The Donning Company republished the story as 'The Talisman' in its English-language reprint volume, Thorgal: Child of the Stars (1986).

[ The initial story from Child of the Stars, 'The Lost Drakkar', is available here. ]

'Thorgal: The Talisman' sets a high bar for artist Grzegorz Rosinski, what with the storyline going from medieval woods to a wasteland to outer space, with some figurative sequences thrown in for good measure. Rosinski not only accomplishes these demands but as always takes care to render faces and expressions with fidelity. Those Eurocomic artists were skilled, no doubt about it........
