Presenting a special month-long celebration of the release of November’s big-screen retelling of the epic poem from filmmakers Neil Gaiman, Roger Avary, and Robert Zemeckis! In the sixth century, the warrior Beowulf must do battle with the monster Grendel as well as Grendel's mother and a dragon who has a personal connection to the Scandinavian warrior. Adapted by Chris Ryall and Gabriel Rodriguez (Clive Barker's The Great and Secret Show).
A legendary warrior confronts monstrous foes in a brutal, ancient world. In sixth-century Scandinavia, the mighty warrior Beowulf is called upon to face a terrifying trio of adversaries: the monstrous Grendel, Grendel's vengeful mother, and a fearsome dragon with a personal vendetta. Adapted from the epic poem, this graphic novel chronicles Beowulf's desperate battles against these supernatural threats, testing his strength, courage, and destiny.
This graphic novel adaptation of Beowulf is presented as a direct tie-in to a major film release, suggesting a focus on visual storytelling and accessibility for a broad audience. The adaptation by Chris Ryall and Gabriel Rodriguez aims to translate the epic poem's core narrative of heroic combat and monstrous encounters into a dynamic comic format. The inclusion of Grendel, his mother, and a dragon as primary antagonists highlights the fantastical and action-oriented elements of the source material. The narrative is expected to follow the foundational plot points of the original Beowulf legend, emphasizing the warrior's prowess and the primal nature of his foes.
