Sorry, Red Rocker fans. This book isn't about the acclaimed solo artist and former lead singer for Van Halen. Hagar The Horrible was a staple of my newspaper reading for decades! When it comes to cartoons, the character and the art represent the best of both worlds. I wonder if Hagar The Horrible can drive 55?
Here's all the info from Titan Comics:
