Book Description

January 10, 1985
Featuring Dik Browne's lovable Viking Hagar the Horrible, here is an indispensable manual filled with hands-on advice for anyone who would enter the Viking business. For the first time anywhere, the entire range of Viking life, lore, and wisdom is presented.

Illustrated with 150 full-color drawings, this guide explains how anyone can be Norwegian, conduct a smash-and-grab, and take home the fruits of victory even when closet space is tight. Hagar's beloved Helga, Honi, and Hamlet are all present; there's a long-running party at the Glog factory; and a special section rates the 10 Most Sackable Cities in Europe. For all who quest for the Golden horn, assault castles, or wield the broad axe, this is the definitive treatise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything a Hägar fan could want, September 11, 2002
This review is from: Hagar the Horrible's Very Nearly Complete Viking Handbook (Paperback)
This lovable book bills itself as "an introduction to the Gothic Arts of Pillaging, Pilfering, Sacking, Looting, Ravaging and Plundering." Well, I wouldn't quite go so far. What it is instead is a look into the world of Hägar the Horrible, Viking extraordinaire. Created by the incomparable Dik Browne (1917-89), Hägar is a lovable rogue: fighting, carousing, drinking, and partying his way across Dark Ages Europe, and doing his share to make it just a little darker.

This book has everything a Hägar fan could want. It's explains who the Vikings are, how they think (or not), how they party, and what they do. Filled with Dik Browne's wonderful cartooning, it's a hilarious book. My two favorite parts are the Viking Code, and the list of the "10 Most Sackable Cities in Europe." This is a great book, a must-have for any Hägar fan. If you can get this book then do so, you won't regret it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Worldwide Loot, February 19, 2007
This review is from: Hagar the Horrible's Very Nearly Complete Viking Handbook (Paperback)
Was a big fan of this book when I was a kid. Found it fascinating, pretty funnny too. Plenty of drawings. Features Dik Browne's Hagar the Horrible going around Europe, Britain and Russia. Features Dik Browne's view on Viking exploration & Viking life too. Gives some background to the comic strips that way. Worth getting for fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars From the comic strip Hagar, a fictional viking, August 9, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: Hagar the Horrible's Very Nearly Complete Viking Handbook (Paperback)
Full of funny stuff, The Viking at Home, at work, real work,and more.From the book " Rome fell in 475 A.D. The Dark Ages spread over Europe. Civilization died out. people got stupider and stupider. Things couldn't possibly get worse. And then....... The Vikings showed up in 800 A.D." It did seem a little short though.
