* CoversAlwaysLie: The series actually averts this trope. All covers feature actual scenes from the story and at least one pannel has the CoverDrop. There's however an exception with "Ogotai's Crow" wwhich shows Jolan using the Traveler (a time traveling device) in front of Thorgal and Kriss. This never happens in the story. [[spoiler:Instead, we have an adult Jolan from the future who infiltrates Shaigan's castle and only uses the Traveler to escape with Aaricia and Louve]]

Added DiffLines:

* OneSteveLimit:
** There are two men named Votiak of all things: one unfortunate client of the BadGuyBar in "Beyond The Shadows" and Wor's [[TheDragon Dragon]] in "Wolf Cub".
** Vigrid is the male god who befriends Aaricia in her eponymous album but it is also the name of the old woman who asks Aarcia's banishment and brands her face with hot iron in "The Brand of the Exiles". JEan Van Hamme admitted that it was an oversight on his part. "The Sacrifice" has the return of both Vigrids and the old woman's name is conveniently not mentionned.
** In "Almost Paradise", Skadia's cat is named Loki. The namesake god appears in "The Battle of Asgard".

* AllWomenHateEachOther: In one story, Thorgal finds himself traveling with a HotWitch named Salouma, a young girl named Lehla, and a Rus bodyguard named Petrov. Lehla asks Petrov what he thinks of Salouma (who's been making advances towards Thorgal), and he replies "If there's one thing I've learned, it's to never tell a woman what you think of another woman".

* NamedAfterTheInjury: The 'Archers'/'Land of Qa' cyclus (Albums 9-13) features an old Viking fletcher called 'Argun treefoot', who got his name because of his wooden leg. On several occasions he refers to himself as a 'disabled war veteran' indicating he might have lost his leg in a fight or battle.
