Hägar the Horrible: The First 50 Years

The world’s best-known Viking returns for a collection celebrating his 50th anniversary. Featuring the first ten epic years hand-picked by creator Dik Browne’s son, Chris Browne. For 50 years, Hägar the Horrible, the world’s mildest marauder, has been hopelessly pillaging his way across the known world in search of treasure, swag and plunder in his never-ending quest to bring home the bacon, and mead! Now grab your helmet and sword and get ready to set sail with Hägar, his long-suffering wife Helga, his children Honi and Hamlet, his dog and duck, Snert and Kvack, and his hapless sidekick Lucky Eddie on one of the most epic quests of all-times! This collection of over 1300 daily cartoon strips was selected from the entire 50-year history of Hägar’s legendary saga by Dik Browne’s sons, Chris and Chance, his daughter, Sally Browne-Boreas and his daughter-in-law and editor, Debra Browne. The collection includes an introduction from both Sally and Debra, a foreword by Chris Browne, an article on the origin of Hägar written by Brian Walker, and a feature on the Hägar film that almost was. “Should give pleasure to Hägar fans and anyone who relishes a chuckle.” – Blogcritics.org
