Beowulf: The Graphic NovelStephen L. Stern et Christopher Steininger2007

Before The Lord of the Rings and Conan the Barbarian, there was Beowulf, the epic tale of the world's first sword-and-sorcery hero.

Inspired by Seamus Heaney's landmark translation of the longest-surviving Anglo-Saxon poem, Beowulf: The Graphic Novel brings the classic legend to cinematic life for contemporary readers.

Written by Stephen L. Stern (Zen: Intergalactic Ninja, War of the Worlds) with art by Christopher Steininger (Kill te Revisionist, The White Elephant), Beowulf: The Graphic Novel is the story of the fearless Norse hero who defeats both the man-ogre Grendel and his avenging mother, only to meet his fate in combat with a fire-breathing dragon.

This masterful adaptation captures the mythic time in which man and supernatural forces co-existed, and celebrates the endurance of the human spirit in an ever-changing, often dangerous world.
