Bea Wolf

A modern retelling of the Old English epic Beowulf, this graphic novel from First Second reimagines the classic tale through the lens of a group of kids defending their treehouse from a monstrous neighbor. Writer and artist Gilles Roussel (working under the pen name Boulet) brings the story to life with a single, self-contained issue that captures the wild energy and poetic language of the original, but with a playful, youthful spin. It’s a vibrant, standalone entry that demonstrates how timeless themes of heroism and community can be reworked for a new generation.
