Adopted by the Viking chieftain Leif Haraldson, who names him after the gods Thor and Aegir, Thorgal grows up to be a reluctant warrior who yearns to raise his family in peace, only to discover later that he is the last descendant of the People of the Stars, an ancient race who populated the Earth and possess supernatural powers. How’s this for an Imaginary Story? What if the infant Superman from Krypton had not crash-landed into the Smallville wheatfields of Jonathan and Martha Kent, but had been recovered and raised, apparently without super powers, by seventh-century Viking warriors? This Elseworld concept can only partially sum up the ‘secret origin’ and huge appeal of one of the undisputed modern masterpieces of international fantasy comic heroes, Thorgal.
