Summary: Hägar at his boisterous best!
Review: This 4"x7" paperback book is a collection of Hägar the Horrible comics by the incomparable Dik Browne (1917-89). Here in this book are many adventures of Hägar, his friend Lucky Eddie, his formidable wife Helga, his beautify though self-conscious daughter Honi, his bookish son Hamlet, and Hägar's less than competent crew. In this book, Hägar must face Bloody Bulgars, knights in armor, magical trolls, and Lucky Eddy's cooking.Recently, while digging through an old box full of books, I came across several of my treasured Hägar books, of which this is one. My children (girl eleven, boy eight) grabbed it away from me, and were soon happily reading the jokes out loud to all present. It is so nice to see that Hägar can entrance the young of today, much as he did me. My personal favorite is when Hamlet and his friends discuss what they want to be when they grow up. My wife loved it when Helga instructed Honi in "The Ancient Mysteries and Secrets of Womanhood." As for my kids, their favorite was when Hägar's crew proves too incompetent to even leave the pier behind! We all love this book, and you will too. If you can get it, then do so!
