The weekly webcomic about modern life, northern grit, and ancient roots.

Vikings still walk amongst us — we just traded longships for proper jobs. An autobiographical series from the heart of Viking Britain by CaptainKirt.

#341 The Weight (prologue)

Every journey has its shadows. Sometimes the hardest battle isn’t fought with a shield, but within the silence of our own minds. This week starts a different kind of story for our hero.




This is a powerful tonal shift for the comic. Hopefully it captures that heavy, internal struggle with a striking visual contrast between the shadow and the "modern man." This is very experimental and important to me, trying to visualise the real struggle within me. Get ready, it's going to get dark (but it's OK to laugh).

    1. Hopefully next week it will all become a bit clearer, no promises though - it could just be more confusing. This is very experimental.
