Publication Date: 15-02-2001

Details: About the Author and Other Contributors Grzegorz Rosinski was born in 1941 in Stalowa Wola, a small town in southern Poland. At the age of fifteen, he was allowed to attend an art high school, a privilege at the time. After graduating, Rosinski went to Warsaw, where he enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts. After completing his studies, Rosinski initially worked as an illustrator of books and record covers. It was not until 1968 that he published his first comics, "Kpt. Sbik" and "Kpt. Kloss". In 1976, Rosinski became the artistic director of the magazine "Relax", a comic magazine for children and young people, and in December of the same year, he published several of his short stories in the Belgian magazine "Spirou", for which he drew "La Croisière Fantastique" the following year. Also in 1976, Rosinski met Jean van Hamme, who would become his most important scenarist from then on. The result of this collaboration could be read in "Tintin" from March 1977, where the first installment of "Thorgal" was published. Already four years later, "Thorgal" was the most popular series in "Tintin", the first awards followed, and an end to the series is not yet in sight. In addition, the series "Hans", written by Duchâteau, was created in 1980. In 1982, Rosinski and his family left Poland and moved to Belgium. Today he lives in Switzerland. Although Rosinski is a master in the use of color, he prefers black and white. Together with van Hamme, "The Great Power of the Little Schninkel" was created, a self-contained comic novel that was published in "(A Suivre)" from 1986 and won the Audience Award in Angoulême in 1989. After that, Rosinski was only unfaithful to "Thorgal" one more time: in 1993, he sharpened his pen for Jean Dufaux, whose scenario for "The Lost Land" was, however, disappointing. Jean Van Hamme is one of the most prolific, successful, and popular comic authors of our time. Born in 1939, he wrote his first comic scenario in 1968 with the erotic volume "Epoxy", drawn by Paul Cuvelier. This was followed by series such as "Corentin", "Magellan", "Domino", the long-running fantasy series "Thorgal" (from 1977) and the epic "The Great Power of the Little Schninkel" (both with artist Grzegorz Rosinski). In 1983, Van Hamme started the agent thriller "XIII" in collaboration with artist William Vance, probably the most popular European comic crime story. In addition to scenarios for "The Joker" and "Adventures without Heroes" (with Dany) and "Largo Winch" (with Philippe Francq), he revitalized the "Blake and Mortimer" series by Edgar P. Jacobs with artist Ted Benoît, whose volume "The Francis Blake Affair" heralded the great renaissance of the two classic heroes. Short Description After happily escaping the shadow realm, Thorgal has set off for Brek Zarith to free Aaricia from the clutches of the notorious King Shardar. But when he reaches his destination, the lovers and their newborn son find themselves in mortal danger due to a palace revolt and an attacking Viking fleet. (2015-11-04)
