X9 #5/1971

In "Försvunnen forskare," Wally Wood's bold storytelling and dynamic art bring to life a mythic clash in Vanaria, where the warrior Beowulf faces a Demongod whose gaze alone brings death. When the beast returns, Beowulf's final victory comes at a cost—his own life, sealed by a sacrifice from the princess he once saved. A 1971 Semic release, this issue stands as a striking example of Wood's singular vision, with cover by Wally Wood.
