Thorgal Is An Amazing Fantasy Comic 

Been reading them since 1984 when i was 10 years old. Now i have the complete collection and my sons love them. Part 38 of the main series just came out!

I'm delighted you liked Thorgal Dan, and your analysis is very good. Thorgal is also getting better and better with time and if it is translated yet, I encourage you to read album # 9, "Les Archers" in French, it's a masterpiece that stands by itself. I also want to add that Van Hamme is an amazing writer and his other famous series, XIII, is also an amazing 20 volumes arc. If you like spy, CIA, conspiracy and stuff, it's the best of its kind.

Thorgal is actually a Belgian comic, as many other European comics. Tip: try out the “Storm” comic series.

Thorgal is incredible. I think most volumes are now in English too. I notice in the UK versions, they state that some of the content of the reprints with the permission of the author have been changed for sensitive viewers. Maybe they were more explicit with violence in the past? The archers is a fun story where he meets Treefoot and his frenemy Kriss of Valnor. And a new story in Volume 5 and 6 has him forced to go to Myaxatal (Aztec lands) where he goes to confront warring and mysterious Gods and his past.

As a Frenchman I appreciate you reviewing this bd. Well done!

Hey, Dan. Nice seeing you trying new format, I forgot to mention it in previous video. 1) To be honest I wasn't into ranting format until I started watching YBZ. I thought that when they read the text it is normal... Until I realised that they always do it in a very boring and 'dead' way or trying to sound like voice actors (cringy). So, if you are not voice actor, reafing text is not a best option. But keeping the main points in your head and just talking about them without going somewhere else - which we all do in casual conversations - this is the way. I learned it watching Comic Fan Nicolas - he also has a small channel, just like you. He also did two good videos about our boi Cyclops, about his good ol' days. You can check 'em out to see if you want to do videos in this format. And support the guy, lol. 2) You need to do something about these black borders. As far as I'm concerned you just pasted the pictures to video editor and they were adjusted to fit by height. Don't know how to help here, I don't know anything about video editing and I only made some cringy video memes to show my friends. To see how the big boys do it you can watch Matt Draper (cool editing, but boring reading and obvious things... At least for me) or Strange Brain Parts (another hipster who reads the text, but his videos are more interesting... And no one knows about his channel. Bruh.) 3) To be honest, I don't really get the part about drawing panels from comics. You want to learn to draw better, yeah. But when you draw these panels you do them in kinda your own way. Is it intended? Because I was reading Jim Shooter's storytelling lecture and he was talking about that many artists, despite knowing a lot about how figures work and all that stuff, don't use their eyes while drawing something. They can copy the main figure but then spoil every little parts. And I see the same story here. Unless you intended this. P.S. Really long comment, yeah. If I said something that you didn't understand, ask me again, I will sit for a long time thinking how to express my points in a more clear way. English is not my first language and I'm lying in my dark room now, it's night and I'm typing in on my phone. Hate typing these long comments using my phone. At least on yt. Thanks for the video.

Thorgal is right up there as one of my favourite series. Been doing a few orders to book depository for more Euro comics as well (Wayne Shelton, Western, Valerian, XIII to name a few). Great stuff. I agree with you, its a shame there aren't more euro and franco belgian comics over here in north america

Perfect , that was my first comic book since I was a child:) I was learning from it to draw comics and I was succeed in drawing comics thanks to this book :) Then I learned to draw American style - superheroes - anatomy , etc... Really great comic style -"Thorgal". Thanks for the video :)

I remember reading "Thorgal: The Archers" in a bundle with a variety of comics. I really liked the artwork and the tone of the story. My interest was sparked and was happy to find some other Thorgal books at the local library. I find Thorgal a very likable protagonist. He seems a modest guy who just wants to live happily with his wife and children but finds himself in al sorts of struggles and adventures. I was intrigued with how dark the stories sometimes get but thorgal's presence and attitude provides hope. I also like how some stories are realistic, some have mystical elements or are downright fantastical.

Torgal is amazing...

I've been reading it since 1984

Try the series: Storm. Originally appeared in a Dutch/Belgium comic magazine Eppo.

It reminded me of Conan and I remember the art of the great John Bolton.

Something I heard from a student, who was studying Chinese: it's pronounced 'Tan Tan', not 'Tin Tin'. According to her, the main reason to avoid that confusion is that 'tin tin' os homophonous to the name of the male reproductive organ in Chinese. And that is something I've learned. XD

Grzegorz Rosiński is Polish.

Belgian, not French.

French to the point. The artist is polish.

Dan, this comic looks awesome. I've never heard of it before, but I'm going to buy a copy now. The artwork alone looks great. By the way, kids -- this book is not to be confused with "Thor Gal" -- as in, Female Thor... the crappy feminist comic by SJW Marvel that no one liked. Thorgal is quality, FemThor is not.
