If I find this one in a shelf, any shelf, I'll see if I can afford it. I'll also interrogate someone about Solo when I get the chance. Besides that, I'll say two things (pnf...): 1. I've started to read your post chronologically, because there's several things I missed when I first read some of them and 'cause there's probably a lot of things I never had the time to read. I'll do the same thing with doctor Von Fangirl eventually. 2. I've read the bios of Viking Prince in your previous post, and frankly I find the visuals presented here of him, the boat and his crew to be a bit offputting. Granted, he may have gained a thing or two from Odin himself (I haven't read any VP, but if I remember correctly there were three possible origins according to the Who's Who) but ... look, I know traditional Viking armour, if one could call it that, was a bit somber and maybe a little booring, but sorry, the vikings just look silly to me! I haven't read Thor comics either, so I don't get that much satisfaction from the references. Having said that, I

Good luck finding all of the issues of Solo! Some are harder to track down than others, and now I wish I'd been picking up the whole series when it came out instead of just the ones that looked interesting to me. Which was about half of them, but still, I can't absolve myself of not doing everything I could have to keep that series afloat when I had the chance.

Oh my god, cool! That's awesome, thank you! Of course, that just makes me want to go back and revise/add text, fix the formats, add better quality scans, and pretty much improve everything from back before I really got into the groove of this blog!

Just wanted to add that the reason I started reading the posts (again?) was that I reread the Laughing Fish recently and found out that I completely forgot Hugo's role in it. Still my favourite part, though. ;p I had this feeling that the same thing applied to the rest of the stories shown to me via your posts, so the geek in me the geek that is me told me that I should investigate a bit.
Also, like I said, I'd take the thing about the armour with a pinch of salt. Because, well, I haven't really read the Judas Coin, now, have I? The only thing I meant was that to me personally it was a bit... funny lookin'. It's really not something I could or should hold against the story. Besides, given the pic of him in the Who's Who, I shouldn't be surprised

What, is this some kind of Europe-specific regional stereotyping? I'm pretty sure the average North American just thinks of Norway as "the country next to that place where they invented IKEA".
*how the Vikings were Genarally, (tourist) guides world wide are sometimes plagued by the silliest of questions from the "flock" they "herd", if you know what I mean. This is mosltly caused by an ever so slight amount of stupidity and sometimes stereotyping, which the last time I checked is hardly something unique to the populace of the United States of America. It's really just not to give that slight percentage who thinks that way any reason to continue such beliefs. But the polar bear/two story tent thing? People have asked. Several times. And lord knows I've made an ass of myself on similar occations, but not something to equal friggin' polar bear riders, damn it!
