When I was a man, I put away childish things, but not without a struggle. So I was happy to come across web references to 'Karl the Viking', a comic strip that kept me enthralled as a schoolboy. It made the weekly appearances of 'The Lion' comic unmissable. At the age of twelve I didn't realise that it was drawn by art legend Don Lawrence, nor that it was written by SF stalwarts Henry (Ken) Bulmer and Michael Moorcock. I just lapped it up thankfully. Apparently I was not alone in my appreciation; a four volume edition of the strips, produced a few years ago, now sells for £165.00 a copy.
