The Death of Baldur: A Viking Graphic Novel

(4) 4-6 Norse Myths series. Illustrated by Eduardo Garcia. Death of Baldur details the life and death of the son of the Norse gods' ruler, Odin. This in turn leads to Ragnarök, the end of the world, in Twilight. The graphic novel genre lends itself well to retellings of ancient myths, and these stories are no exception. That said, the very basic, conventional layouts employed here are underwhelming. Glos. Review covers the following Norse Myth titles: Twilight of the Gods and The Death of Baldur.
