Ivar The Timewalker
Ivar Anni-Padda, also known as the Timewalker or the "Forever Walker," is a fictional superhero in the Valiant Comics universe. Created by artist and writer Barry Windsor-Smith, he first appeared in the 1993 flipbook issue Archer and Armstrong #8/Eternal Warrior #8. He was then further developed in his own series ''Timewalker,'' which lasted 15 issues and also had a special #0 issue detailing his childhood.

As a man leading a non-linear life, and whose adventures sometimes overlap each other, Ivar is a cunning opportuni ...
