About the series
In 1975 and 1976, DC Comics published a six-issue series adapting the Old English epic Beowulf, scripted by Michael Uslan and illustrated by a team including Ricardo Villamonte, Curt Swan, and Ric Estrada. This Bronze Age miniseries brought the legendary Geatish hero to life in a straightforward, sword-and-sorcery style, blending the original poem’s monster-slaying feats with comic book adventure. It stands as a distinctive early example of DC’s willingness to tackle classic literature, offering a visually robust take on a foundational myth.
