Beowulf #6

DC's sword-and-myth series reaches its sixth issue with a cover by Ricardo Villamonte that pulls no punches: a muscular, horned-helmeted Beowulf grapples mid-air with a massive, saber-toothed Minotaur against a blazing yellow moon, while a blonde woman in a leopard-skin outfit looks on from a field of scattered skulls below. The tagline — "Half Man… Half Beast… All Killer" — sets the tone for what writer Michael Uslan and artists Ric Estrada and Ricardo Villamonte have cooked up inside, tied to a story called "Labyrinth of the Grotto Minotaur!" It's a vivid slice of 1976 DC Bronze Age fantasy, bringing ancient myth to life with the kind of raw, dynamic energy that made this short-lived series genuinely memorable.
