Retold by Stefan Petrucha for the 8 - 12 age group, this graphic novel captures the basic elements of the story, keeping it short and simple, yet age appropriately creepy and gory.
1. Grendel, descendant of Cain, really hates human beings having fun and praising God.
2. He becomes the ultimate party pooper
3. Beowulf sails in with the tide and some good men to come to the aid of the party.
4. Beowulf and Grendel arm wrestle to the death
5. Beowulf faces the wrath of Grendel's mum (who looks nothing like Angelina Jolie in the novel, but strangely, not unlike Joan Rivers.)
6. Fifty years later, he has dragon trouble
7. Wyrd!
This historical superhero may have come back into fashion with a little help from Robert Zemeckis and Angelina Jolie, but unlike the recent movie, this version is one that Angie won't mind her kids having a peek at.
Recommended for young adults who need to take their literature medicine with a spoonful of sugar.

Based on the classic story, this graphic novel tells the tale of Beowulf, an epic hero who bravely faces the most fearsome creatures.
In the kingdom of Hrothgar, men are being slaughtered by a godless creature. Grendel has proven that he cannot be defeated, even by the king's greatest warriors. He comes in the night and feeds on the men. After twelve years, Beowulf comes to the aid of Hrothgar. He defeats Grendel and earns himself fame. But his battle is far from over, for another monster has come to avenge Grendel--his mother.
BEOWULF is one of the most popular tales of heroism, being passed from generation to generation. Here it is presented in stark simplicity. The tale of brutal danger and the raw battles for life are coupled with sharp, dark images. The effect is a novel that is as ominous as the story itself.
