Beowulf

Description:

Graphic novel adaptation of the Old English epic poem, *Beowulf*. Beowulf's heroic saga finds a true home in this dramatically illustrated graphic-novel edition. Grendel's black blood runs thick as Beowulf defeats the monster and his hideous mother, while somber hues overcast the hero's final, fatal battle against a raging dragon. Speeches filled with courage and sadness, lightning-paced contests of muscle and will, and funeral boats burning on the fjords are all rendered in glorious and gruesome detail. Uses a new colloquial translation of text.
