Welcome
This is the official website for The Helm.
Of course, we wanted to get www.thehelm.com, but that site was taken by a cruise line, so here we are. And apparently you found us! Good work!
Praise for The Helm issue #1!!
"Simply put: this book is hilarious… This is one of the few times a comic book made me laugh out loud as I read it—highly recommended."
"The Helm is funny. Both the book and the titular piece of haberdashery produce some flat out belly laughs."
"I've read the whole thing and it's spectacular folks, I can't wait for #2 to come out! I just can't recommend it enough!"
John Robinson, Graham Crackers Comics
"Mathew Blurdy's new helmet is not cursed or evil. It just doesn't like him... That's the premise behind Jim Hardison's hilarious new comic from Dark Horse. Blurdy, the 30 year-old who works in a video store and lives with his mother, is The Helm's straight man as it constantly barbs and berates the hapless loser…"
"It’s really funny and witty... Can you imagine if Mjolnir hated Thor? Well this book covers that dynamic with the protagonist, Matt Blurdy, and his magical Viking helmet, the Helm. I haven’t laughed out loud with a comic in a while."
Arnie Bermudez

About the Helm
The Helm is an ironic spin on the "destiny" genre that teams veteran artist Bart Sears with comics newcomer Jim Hardison.
