Beowulf

Brian Augustyn and Joshua Ortega reimagine the Old English epic in this 2005–2006 series from Speakeasy Comics, blending mythic grandeur with modern storytelling. With a rotating art team that includes Jeff Lemire, Attila Adorjany, and Dub, the seven-issue run explores the legendary hero’s battles against monstrous foes while grounding the saga in a dark, atmospheric world. It stands as a distinctive, creator-driven take on a classic tale, offering a fresh entry point for readers familiar with the poem or new to its blood-soaked legacy.
