Beowulf #2

DC's sword-and-sorcery take on the Anglo-Saxon legend charges into its second issue with a cover that puts Ricardo Villamonte's muscular linework on full display — the warrior Beowulf leaps blade-raised over a fanged green dragon, while a white-haired woman in yellow looks on from beside the creature's coiling tail, all set against a blazing infernal backdrop that perfectly suits the teased story title, "Slave Maid of Satan!" With writer Michael Uslan steering the mythology into genuinely wild Bronze Age territory, this 1975 entry is an entertaining reminder of how fearlessly DC reimagined ancient legends for the comics page.
