Thrud the Barbarian

[Jacko]

Could anyone tell me where I could get my hands on a copy of the Original Thrud the Barbarian comic.

Someone might correct me, as I'm hardly an expert on comics. However, Thrud appeared as a strip in White Dwarf magazine for a few years, which was his genesis. While there may have been a collection, there never was a Thrud "comic" as such. I imagine you have tried ebay - that's all I can really suggest. He hasn't been in White Dwarf for a couple of decades as the writer ran out of ideas (he said so himself).

There is a Thrud comic (http://www.thrudthebarbarian.com/comicad1.html), although he indeed got his start in the pages of White Dwarf. There was a compilation of strips from White Dwarf magazine, but it's long out of print.

That's odd, considering I just saw new issues on the shelf at my comic store. Hmmm

I think he meant the comic strip. The magazine is still going but dedicated to Warhammer.

White Dwarf is still going, and I'm guessing that the separate Thrud comic is too. I was referring to the compilation of Thrud strips from White Dwarf, which saw print back in the 80s. Not sure if it was ever reprinted, but I don't think so. Worth getting if you ever run across it, as it was pretty cool.

Your best bet is the official Carl Critchlow website: http://www.thrudthebarbarian.com/

Apart from that, eBay is probably your best bet (that's where I got mine).

My LCS has ordered in Thrud Comics. They have been in Previews, but mostly I bought them direct from Carl.
