Description

This graphic-novel edition of Beowulf brings an ancient epic to a new generation, with Gareth Hinds's masterful illustrations. The tale of the great warrior Beowulf has thrilled readers for over a thousand years, and this version honors the spirit of the original while introducing it to modern readers.

The story is told in glorious and gruesome detail, with speeches filled with courage and sadness, lightning-paced contests of muscle and will, and funeral boats burning on the fjords. From the monster Grendel to the hero's final battle against a raging dragon, every moment is rendered in vivid and haunting detail.

With its unique blend of action, drama, and mythology, Beowulf is a compelling and thought-provoking read that finds a true home in this graphic-novel edition.
