ALL-NEW ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF BEOWULF pertaining to HARDCOVER THIS DECEMBER
April 9, 2023Media release — Santiago García as well as David Rubín team as much as put a fresh—and wholly blood-soaked—spin on the fierce as well as savage tale of BEOWULF in a new English translation of the 1,000-year-old myth. It will be collected in a lush, full-color hardcover this December from picture Comics.
The story of Beowulf has influenced an withstanding legendary poem, ended up being a foundational piece of English literature, as well as influenced many excellent works of fiction in many mediums. Now, it’s getting an completely special new graphic treatment—packed to the brim with sufficient brutality as well as gore to satisfy even the most Viking of sensibilities.
BEOWULF tells of the tale of a Scandinavian hero in lands that would ended up being what is now Denmark as well as Sweden. A monster, Grendel, has shown up in the kingdom of the Danes, devouring its guy as well as women for 12 years up until Beowulf shows up to save them. García as well as Rubín faithfully comply with the original story for a new version that is neither revisionist nor postmodern, catching the tone as well as crucial details of the poem, equating its potent, legendary resonance as well as melancholy into a contemporary comic that isn’t common swords as well as sorcery or heroic fantasy fare—but rather an ancient story with a contemporary point of view that stays respectful of the source material.
BEOWULF HC (ISBN: 978-1-5343-0120-7) hits comic book stores Wednesday, December 14th as well as bookstores Tuesday, December 20th, as well as will be offered for $29.99. It can be bought by merchants with diamond code OCT160654, as well as is offered for preorder on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indiebound, as well as Indigo.
