Description

Epic Moments in History: Modern-Day Viking, Vol. 1 imagines a world where Vikings stride casually through modern life — their presence both absurd and strangely unremarkable.

Presented as a visual record of everyday encounters — from office desks and coffee shops to sidewalks and suburban routines — the book reinterprets history’s raiders with a deadpan twist, brought to life in full-color illustrations.

Designed as an 8”×10” trade edition (92 pages), it offers a playful, artful glimpse into a timeline where ancient legends quietly share our present day.
