- Read the albums in order.
- Thorgal is one long story — a Viking foundling who turns out to come from somewhere else entirely, then a wife, then children who take over the telling — and the later albums assume you have watched that family arrive.
- Two things to know.
- Van Hamme wrote the first twenty-nine and handed the series on in 2007; the albums after that are by other writers and the change is audible.
- And the series has since branched: separate runs follow Kriss de Valnor, young Thorgal and the son Jolan, all of them side paths rather than the main line.
