This exhilarating graphic-novel edition of an ancient classic honors the spirit of the original as it attracts modern readers. The epic tale of the great warrior Beowulf has thrilled readers through the ages -- and now it is reinvented for a new generation with Gareth Hinds's masterful illustrations. Grendel's black blood runs thick as Beowulf defeats the monster and his hideous mother, while somber hues overcast the hero's final, fatal battle against a raging dragon. Speeches filled with courage and sadness, lightning-paced contests of muscle and will, and funeral boats burning on the fjords are all rendered in glorious and gruesome detail. Told for more than a thousand years, Beowulf's heroic saga finds a true home in this graphic-novel edition.… (mer)

Another good adaptation from Hinds, but less of the admittedly boring bits are included—namely, the drawn-out speeches these warriors make to boast about their impressive exploits. This composes the bulk of the poem (if I recall correctly) and the story of Beowulf’s fights versus Grendel and Grendel’s mom are a much smaller part. Not that I’m dying to see the long brag sessions recreated as written in this concise adaptation, but the spirit of those was not captured. ( )

I had to read this book for my greek myth class and I would say it's a good retelling of Beowulf but I just don't really enjoy norse myth. ( )

A very nice translation paired with very powerful images. Nice, and I don't say that lightly. ( )

I remember reading Beowulf as a freshman in college. In fact, it was the first assigned reading - which means that although I read it, it was long forgotten. Finding this illustrated Beowulf, including all three books, at our local library book sale for a dollar, I decided to reconnect. Hind's illustrations give a "superhero" look to the fighting scenes in which Beowulf slays Grendel, Grendel's mother and the dragon, complete with comic-like "splat" and "thunk" captions. Yet Beowulf and his fellow men retain a Viking-like look. The close-ups of faces and the drawings of the adversaries were especially good, as was the funeral send-off of Beowulf in his Viking ship. A pleasurable serendipitous purchase! ( )

This dark depiction of the classic Beowulf fills your imagination with grotesque images of Grendel and other monsters with pictures of the glorious Beowulf. I think this book gives a great graphic representation of the novel, and could be useful to use in class so students can visualize the fights as they read. Having a page or two on the projector and flipping the pictures as the class reads through would be a great way to maintain engagement.

My main issue with this book, though, is much of the "original" text is left out. The fight scenes have no narration and no text at all on the page. This is my main complaint and a strong reason why I wouldn't suggest replacing this graphic novel instead of something like the Seamus Heaney translation. ( )

Do not combine Gareth Hind's The Collected Beowulf with his Beowulf. Beowulf is an updated version with the same drawings, but all of the text is based on the translation by A.J. Church and is a colloquial translation for easy readability and a YA audience. The Collected Beowulf is based on a translation by Francis Gummerere.

Sample Text:

Collected Beowulf: But sit to the banquet unbind thy words, hardy here as heart shall prompt thee

Beowulf: But I pray thee, hardy heroes, sit down to the feast.
