With gritty sensibilities framed in epic yet humanistic stories, writer Brian Wood scripted Northlanders for DC Entertainment's Vertigo Comics imprint for a run of 50 issues from 2011-2012. There was some talk of a film for a while. This cover is from our favourite issue featuring a duel of champions in the Viking Age.

Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires' Norse Gods and Giants at age seven. Since then he's been fascinated by the truthful potency of Norse Mythology, passionately read & studied, embraced Ásatrú, launched the Map of Midgard project, and spearheaded the neologism/brand NorsePlay. If you have employment/opportunities in investigative mythology,  field research, or product development to offer, do contact him.
