The world’s best-known Viking returns for a collection celebrating his 50th anniversary.
Featuring the first ten epic years hand-picked by Dik Browne’s son, Chris Browne.

It’s time to set sail with the worlds mildest marauding Viking, Hägar the Horrible and his hapless (and helpless) sidekick, Lucky Eddie and his long suffering family, his wife Helga and his duck Kveck.

This collection is a celebration of the first 50 years of Hägar's epic, never-ending quest to put meat, mead and loot on the family table, while doing as little as possible.

The collection presents over 1000 daily cartoon strips, including 600 hand-picked by Dik Browne’s son Chris Browne.

Featuring a foreword by Chris Browne, a feature by Brian Walker on the history of Hägar, and an article about the almost animated movie.

Perfect for fans of Peanuts and newspaper gag strips, this collection is ideal of all ages and as.
Dik Browne (August 11, 1917 - June 4, 1989), born Richard Arthur Allan Browne in New York City, was a popular American cartoonist, best known for writing and drawing Hägar the Horrible and Hi and Lois. Browne attended Cooper Union and got his start at the New York Journal American as a copy boy and later worked in the art department. He joined the army, producing work for the engineering unit and created Jinny Jeep, a comic strip about the Women's Army Corps. In the 1940s, he worked as an illustrator for Newsweek as well as for an advertising company, where he created the trademark logo for Chiquita. In 1954, Browne and cartoonist Mort Walker co-created the comic strip Hi and Lois, a spin-off of Walker's popular Beetle Bailey strip, featuring Beetle's sister, brother-in-law and their family. Walker wrote the strip, which Browne illustrated until his death. In 1973, Browne created Hägar the Horrible about an ill-mannered, red-bearded medieval Viking.
