Modern comic book and graphic novel artists have created visual interpretations of <em>Beowulf</em> for decades, both illustrating and altering the classic story to pull out new themes.</p><p>This book examines the growing canon of <em>Beowulf</em> comic books and graphic novels since the 1940s, and shows the remarkable emergence of new traditions--from re-envisioning the medieval look, to creating new plotlines, and even to transforming his identity. While placing <em>Beowulf</em> in a fantastical medieval setting, a techno-dystopia of the future, or modern-day America, artists have appropriated the tale to comment on social issues such as war, environmental issues, masculinity, and consumerism. Whether <em>Beowulf</em> is fighting new monsters or allying with popular comic book superheroes, these artists are creating a new canon of illustration that redefines <em>Beowulf</em>s place in our culture.</p>...1791468Beowulf in Comic Books and Graphic Novels504615https://www.gandhi.com.mx/beowulf-in-comic-books-and-graphic-novels/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1125557/c1a4695e-f525-4042-8ef5-8bd03a9c082e.jpg?v=638337429705930000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239781476648422_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9781476648422_<p>The legendary story of <em>Beowulf</em> comes to us in only one medieval manuscript with no illustrations.
