I've read pretty much all Thorgal, but this volume was my first, and it remains one of my favorites. The English title is The Betrayed Sorceress. The Polish title hews closer to the French original: The Island of Frozen Seas.

Some of these images have etched themselves deeply in my mind. Here's Rosinski on the left, and my unintentional homage.

Look at these excellent naval tactics! I also love the grotesque one-eyed beauty of the sorceress.

Rosinski has mastered a well-observed realist style with a cartoon substrate. Look at those Viking faces!

I love the wild historical syncretism. The ship is a cross between a Viking longship and a Greek ship. Is that a Roman rostrum in the front? Also, it looks like it has a Greek temple in the back.

The image above is of the Lord of the Three Eagles from Thorgal Vol 2, written by Van Hamme with art by Grzegorz Rosinski. A cross between Viking, Greek, Roman, and Medieval armor… a fantasy fever dream. I also like the way he draws the native "Skrælings."
