In 2008, Peter wrote and illustrated The Journey to Jersualem, a book about Easter. In 2009, the first books in the picture book series, Troll Life were published. Troll Life is co-created by Peter Madsen and his wife, Sissel Bøe. So far 9 books have been published.

This might be my favorite of the collections. All of these stories were really good, and felt the right amount of informative of the old myths and also just fun. Also it felt like a nice way to wrap up the whole series.

(Same review on all 5 parts)
These comics are absolutely fantastic! They were what drove me into my huge interest in nordic myth and legend. Here you’ll meet them all! Odin, Tor Loki (mostly), but also all the other gods and goddess! And the two human servants living with Tor and Sif.
It’s clear to see how the creators have gone from the very bulky drawing style in the beginning to the refined and beautiful drawings that quickly show up the more of these stories you read.
And the stories don’t follow the myths and legends perfectly, it’s mostly Madsen and his team and their take on them. So they are a bit kinder than they really were, but that is an understandable change.
These are some HIGH QUALITY comics that everyone should read! Especially in these luxury collections, where you got so much behind the scenes stories!

Super god afslutning, tre af de absolut bedste i serien.

Fantastiskt slut på en häftig saga med de nordiska gudarna i.
Episkt med otroligt häftiga tecknade scener med stora slag och Ragnarök. Gillar att Tjalve fick vara huvudfigur i ena sagan och avbildningarna av hästen Loke är bara för roliga i Muren.

Med femte og dermed sidste samlebind er sagaen om Valhalla nået sin ende.
Der er en sand fornøjelse at læse de her tegneserier, som stadig også kan købes enkeltvis til 99.95 kr. Men jeg vil nu til hver en tid anbefale at man køber samlebindene, der koster 299.95 kr. stykket. Det ekstramateriale der er med, er virkelig den ekstra vægt værd (de er selvfølgelig lidt tungere at sidde med). Jeg har virkelig hygget mig med at læse alle Valhalla historierne og jeg har i den grad nydt Peter Madsens fabelagtige tegninger, der har sendt mig ned ad barndommens gade.
'Balladen om Balder' fra 2006 er den første historie og handler om Odin og Friggs søn Balder og hans død. 'Muren' udkom i 2007 og handler om 2 forskellige myter - vanen Frejs tjener Skirner (Tjalfe), der bejler til jætte kvinden Gerd på Frejs vegne og om hvordan Odins ottebebenede hest Sleipner blev til. Den allersidste historie var den jeg havde glædet mig mest til at læse. 'Vølvens syner' - 15. og sidste album i serien udkom i 2009. Den handler selvfølgelig om Ragnarok.
Jeg har været så priviligeret at møde Peter Madsen nogle gange sammen med hustruen Sissel Bøe, som står bag Troldeliv historierne. To fantastiske søde mennesker. Og hvis I ser en signering et sted med de to, så gå endelig ikke forbi. Her har man nemlig en unik chance for at få en ægte Peter Madsen tegning og evt. en nørdesnak om tegneserier.

The end of the Valhalla comics… both satisfying and sad…
I have had a blast reading these comics and they have been giving me that feeling of being sent down a childhood memory, that is so very satisfying🙌🏻
The pinacle for me was “Vølvens syner” that describes their vision of Ragnarok. It is beautifully told with Peter Madsens brilliant drawings and if you have any relation with these stories at all, or just a slight interest in the norse mythology, this is an absolute must-buy👏👏
