SANTIAGO GARCIA and DAVID RUBIN unite to bring forward the myth of Beowulf,
which has endured for a thousand years, inspired an epic poem, become a
foundational piece of English literature, and influenced generations of authors:
from J.R.R. Tolkien and Seamus Heaney to a multitude of Hollywood
screenwriters.
BEOWULF tells of the tale of a Scandinavian hero in lands that would become what is now Denmark and Sweden. A monster, Grendel, has arrived in the kingdom of the Danes, devouring its men and women for over a decade until Beowulf arrives to save them.
GARCIA and RUBIN faithfully follow the original story for a new version that is neither revisionist nor postmodern, but captures the tone and important details of the poem, translating its potent, epic resonance and melancholy into a contemporary comic that isn't standard swords and sorcery or heroic fantasy fare, but rather an ancient story with a modern perspective that remains respectful of the source material.
