His stepmother Solveig and his half -brother Ottar are besieged by wood thieves, directed by her unwelcome suitor, Einar. The Exile's presence disrupts the delicate balance and threatens to tip all of Iceland into violence. 520 A remarkable decades-spanning epic, Erik Kriek's The Exile is equal parts action "Western" and family drama, with a surprising story of violence and consequences at its core. Told in a naturalistic modern style but with tremendous fidelity to the historical period in which it is set, The Exile depicts the Viking age in all of its conflict, turmoil, and social structure, with every detail depicted vividly on the page. Hailing from the Netherlands, Kriek is an internationally-decorated illustrator known for his work on In the Pines (2015) and Gutsman. Lushly told with gorgeous traditionally-drawn brush work, and a limited palette illustration style reminiscent of the great three- color illustrators of the 1940s and 50s, Kriek's art is alternately breezy and gritty, but always stunning, whether he's depicting a full-blown Viking battle or a wearying sea voyage. 650 0 Vikings|zIceland|vComic books, strips, etc. 651 0 Iceland|xHistory|yTo 1262|vComic books, strips, etc. 655 7 Graphic novels.|2lcgft 655 7 Historical comics.|2lcgft 655 7 Action and adventure comics.|2lcgft 700 1 Robinson, Sean Michael,|eadapter.|1https://isni.org/isni/ 000000042016394X. 947 MARCIVE Processed 2023/05/05 994 C0|bMCP
