Book Synopsis
Originally serialised in Lion, Karl the Viking is a sweeping historical fantasy story of an orphaned Saxon boy, adopted and raised by the viking Eingar after his raid on Britain. Upon coming of age Karl succeeds Eingar and leads his tribe into battle in Britain against wild tribes of Picts, and re-connects with his old Saxon family, gaining an ally in his cousin Godwulf, and making an enemy of the Earl of Eastumbria.

These fast-paced stories were drawn by Don Lawrence shortly before he revolutionised painted comic art with The Trigan Empire, when he was already a master of pen and ink, and his Karl the Viking series was the pinnacle of black and white comic art.

Reviews for Don Lawrence's The Rise and Fall of theTrigan Empire

"Vastly influential. Stunning. Dominated the genre of Science-Fiction epics." * The Independent *
"Don [Lawrence] painted a comic I loved. It was called the Trigan Empire - two comic pages a week, in the children's magazine "Look and Learn", which even schools who banned comics allowed" -- Neil Gaiman
"I love Trigan Empire! It's absolutely epic." -- Duncan Jones (director Source Code, Moon)
"Lawrence [is] celebrated for his richly coloured, highly detailed visions of fantastic worlds." * The New York Times *
