Beowulf #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collected edition presents Gareth Hinds's graphic novel adaptation of the Old English epic poem 'Beowulf,' originally published in 2007 by Candlewick Press. Hinds's illustrated retelling brings the classic tale of the Geatish hero's battles with Grendel, Grendel's mother, and the dragon to life through vivid, atmospheric artwork. The volume collects the complete story in a single graphic novel format.
"Book One" of Gareth Hinds’ graphic novel adaptation of Beowulf is a striking, fully self-contained first chapter that captures the epic’s primal tension from the start. With every page drawn, inked, colored, and lettered by Hinds himself, the story follows Beowulf as he arrives at Hrothgar’s court and takes up the challenge to face the terror of Grendel—leading to a brutal, hand-to-hand clash that ends with the monster’s arm torn free. The cover, also by Hinds, sets the tone with its stark, powerful imagery, making this a standout in any collection.
In this bold reimagining of the legendary tale, Beowulf arrives at Hrothgar’s court with a quiet resolve, volunteering to face the terror that has plagued the mead hall for years. When the monstrous Grendel strikes under cover of night, Beowulf meets the beast in brutal, hand-to-hand combat—unyielding, fearless, and determined to end the reign of fear.
