ISBN: 9781534301207.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSANTIAGO GARCIA and DAVID RUBIN unite to bring forward the myth of Beowulf, which has endured for a thousand years, inspired an epic poem, become a foundational piece of English literature, and influenced generations of authors: from J.R.R. Tolkien and Seamus Heaney to a multitude of Hollywood screenwriters.\n\nBEOWULF tells of the tale of a Scandinavian hero in lands that would become what is now Denmark and Sweden. A monster, Grendel, has arrived in the kingdom of the Danes, devouring its men and women for over a decade until Beowulf arrives to save them.\n\nGARCIA and RUBIN faithfully follow the original story for a new version that is neither revisionist nor postmodern, but captures the tone and important details of the poem, translating its potent, epic resonance and melancholy into a contemporary comic that isn’t standard swords and sorcery or heroic fantasy fare, but rather an ancient story with a modern perspective that remains respectful of the source material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Image Comics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44958035050549,"sku":"ByrdShop_1534301208","price":221.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781534301207_d8b2aa80-6931-4dc8-b266-ec2c89ff3225.jpg?v=1778677336","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/beowulf-9781534301207","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
