A monster, Grendel, has arrived in the kingdom of the Danes, devouring its men and women for over a decade until Beowulf arrives to save them.SANTIAGO GARCIA and DAVID RUBIN unite to bring forward the myth of Beowulf, which has endured for a thousand years, inspired an epic poem, become a foundational piece of English literature, and influenced generations of authors: from J.R.R. Tolkien and Seamus Heaney to a multitude of Hollywood screenwriters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52091640152352,"sku":"NEW1534309195","price":35.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/beowulf-a-graphic-novel-1534309195","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
