Pathfinder

    (Dark Horse, 2006)
™ and © Dark Horse Comics, Inc.

Ghost is an abandoned child left to die in the skeleton of a grounded Viking ship, with shackled natives where no Viking should tread, 500 years before Columbus set foot in the Americas.

Ghost’s Viking ancestry remains in the background, while his native upbringing creates new loyalties. When a surprise Viking attack comes, it forces Ghost to betray his people while forging his new identity in the midst of battle.

The art by Shy is marvelous. The arboreal settings and the stirring images of the native people are skillfully rendered. He excels in the fantastic, and every now and then you can see a hint of Frazetta and Boris.

Even if you don’t see the movie, buy the book. It’s stunning.
