This is a sample of my new comic strip (which I won’t reveal the name of right now). Previous readers might remember that I’ve shown versions of this in the past, but I’ve never really gotten comfortable with it until recently.

It’s drawn as a strip but I’ve but it together like this for the purpose of showing it off better on the site.

Book Illustrations

Welcome to the official Beowulf graphic novel web page.

What you have here is a 120 page, full-color graphic novel illustrated by Gareth Hinds and faithfully adapted from the Francis B. Gummere verse translation of the epic poem Beowulf, which was recorded in Old English around 1000 AD. This adaptation seeks to preserve the integrity and feel of the original, while telling the story visually in a way that reflects both its historical and mythical/superheroic aspects.

We refer to the book as The Collected Beowulf because it was originally published in three comic-format issues; below you will find samples from each. All the books can be purchased directly from our online store. For a more in-depth description of the series, give our press release page a look. For technical specifics on the collected editions, click here. To view the full text of the Gummere translation, click here.

Beowulf is carried by fine comic shops nationwide, as well as a few in Canada and the UK. If your local store hasn’t heard of it, we hope you'll print out our retailer information form and take it to them.
