Thorgal: Almost Paradise

Thorgal
'Almost Paradise' 
by Jean Van Hamme (writer) and Grzegorz Rosinski (art)
from Thorgal: The Sorceress Betrayed 
The Donning Company, 1987 

This Thorgal comic first was released in January 1980 in the album de bande dessinĂ©e La Magicienne trahie by the Belgian publisher Le Lombard. In 1987, The Donning Company published an English translation in the U.S. as the graphic novel The Sorceress Betrayed.

'Almost Paradise' showcases Jean Van Hamme's ability both to deftly plot a shorter-length comic, and to avoid a predictable denouement.
