Beowulf #5

DC's sword-and-sorcery series takes a wild turn in this January 1975 issue, as the cover tagline "From Beyond the Stars They Came…Bringing Death!" sets an ominous tone perfectly matched by Dick Giordano's striking cover art. A horned warrior woman rides a rearing black horse with sword drawn, while a fleeing figure scrambles below and a sleek red flying saucer looms overhead — ancient heroics crashing headlong into science-fiction spectacle. With Michael Uslan, Allan Asherman, and Ricardo Villamonte bringing "Chariots of the Stars!" to life inside, this issue promises exactly the kind of genre-blending adventure that made Beowulf: Dragon Slayer one of DC's more daring mid-seventies experiments.
