Beowulf is a difficult thing to review and perhaps even more difficult to accurately interpret given its multitude of translations and revisions with various intentions in mind. Approaching this material is a daunting task to the wise, and a futile task to the unwise.

Approaching this material is a daunting task to the wise, and a futile task to the unwise.

So which is artist Gareth Hinds? Wise or unwise?

As we first open this volume, we are met with the illustrator's notes regarding the chosen translation as well as a vocabulary bank to help guide us through some of the more obtuse language. This is a welcome addition for high school students, rusty readers, and non-English majors.

First we'll discuss the pallet. The dirty browns and beaten tans are offset by the flat metal glint of chain-mail and swords. The most vibrant colors are those of fire and sky; the flames and their emanating light bring life to the drab setting and the night sky is a deep and unworldly blue. All of this brings a dismal, haunting setting filled with hidden power.

Next we'll discuss the character designs. Beowulf is a Grecian exaggeration of what is a traditional male warrior. This stock character is as boring a representation of Christendom as I've ever encountered. Hinds' interpretation of the titular character is faithful and no liberties are seemingly taken. But then we hit Grendel and Grendel's mother... and Hinds' work really shines. Never have I seen a better visual representation of the mother and her beastly brood. Their musculature, piercing eyes, and spindly hair makes them stand out in the drab colored setting while bringing life to the visual conflict between characters.

I mean, look at this ...

The art focuses on motion in many spots, generating a frantic elegance to the violence that the epic poem itself clumsily conveys in its various modern translations. If ever you scratched your head while reading the tale of Beowulf, simply peruse this comic.

Not all is perfect, and despite Hinds' wise approach some things eluded him; namely the second, post-Grendel half of Beowulf. Those familiar with the epic poem would recognize the secondary portion of the tale as tacked-on and strongly influenced by Christian missionaries. There was nothing Gareth Hinds could really do with the material except change it. He takes some liberties with Beowulf himself, aging him properly and casting his face in tragic light but it isn't enough. I would have preferred Hinds take even more liberty with the visual language here and cast the material in a new light. Sadly, the latter-half of the poem is confusing and aimless despite a spectacular battle with a dragon.

All in all, an excellent work and a worthy edition to not only the educational body of literature but also the casual reader.(less)

Have you ever wondered about the stories from 1000 AD? Do you love tales of glory? This is Beowulf. This graphic novel of Beowulf makes the story easier to understand and more entertaining to read. Beowulf is a brave leader who slays monsters and participates in battles. In Beowulf, Gareth Hinds retells three amazing stories of Beowulf. The first story is about Beowulf trying to defeat Grendel the monster. The second story is about Beowulf fighting Grendel's mother; and the third story is about...more

This book. Oh this glorious, and gorgeous, and breath-taking book.

Based on the epic Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf, this graphic novel adaptation by Gareth Hinds. is stunning. I've not read the original poem so cannot comment on the translation of the narrative, or its adherence to the original. What I can comment on is the savage beauty of some of these frames.

Take me back to a time where men where brave and monsters ruled the earth.
Take me back and remind me that before the skyscrapers and the planes and the ships there where vessels, hovels, and Lords.

I have this thought quite often. I love history ( beyond AP USA) and am often drawn to novels which depict hero's in their prime. Beowulf is possibly the most powerful of all these epics. Not only does it pull you in with its vivid story but it itself is a testament to the changing english language.

If you are like me and are well read, mildly interested in Beowulf but just plain lack the desire to read a 3000-line long medieval poem this graphic novel may be the answer. I plowed through this graphic novel in about a half an hour and certainly was entertained and a bit more enlightened as to the tone and nature of the Beowulf saga.

I didn't know that so many of these graphic novels would be created by Gareth Hinds. Beowulf is perhaps one of the best of the few I've read from him. The graphics are amazing to say the least. Word of caution – it is a little gory but not to the point that I wouldn't use it in a classroom. Blood is colored black and although it gets the point across, it didn't make me feel queasy (and I can't stand blood – real or drawn).

It starts out with a city that has a monster named Grendel that attacks citizens that sleep in the Great Hall of the city. So to take care of the dilemma they set a reward for anyone who can kill or scare him away. Beowulf comes to answer the call and is very experience at his job. The night he shows up they stay in the Hall and as planned Grendel attacks and Beowulf’s troops attack Grendel but there weap...more

Um. Hinds' graphic novel seems pretty clearly a labor of love, something he did because he cared and he really wanted to make it happen; that kind of captures my heart regardless of any issues I might have with a work.

The art is mostly wonderful; Hinds did a beautiful job on the backgrounds and the dragon. I'm not sure he did a bad job on the humans, actually; I think his style for humans and humanoids may just not be to my taste. It did seem somewhat out of keeping with the rest of the art--the lines and colorwork for the backgrounds and the dragon were often executed with tremendous delicacy, and the humans, less so. The humans were well-drawn even if not 100% to my liking, though, and the fight scenes were really excellent.

The choice of text was okay--again, somewhat a matter of personal taste. For me, a lot of the beauty of Beowulf is in the poetry, and because this was a colloquial prose translation, that's largely lost. However, I can see how he might have wanted to encourage readers who would be put off by a more old-fashioned text, or perhaps allow the readers to give less energy to the text so they could concentrate more on the art. That's understandable. It certainly wasn't terrible, and I do like the way the story was edited. Obviously, Hinds couldn't include the entire text of the story, so he had to use the equivalent of title cards, if you will, as in a silent film. He did include some of the background matter, which I really liked; a less appreciative adapter might have been tempted to leave it out and cut straight to the monster-killin'.

There were a few artistic choices that threw me out of the story, unfortunately. Both were fairly odd: the persistent use of a star-map to represent the night sky, and the inclusion of (I swear) the NYC skyline pre-9/11. I'm not really sure what the story is with that latter one, but the former...well, it was pretty enough, but the English words were very distracting, as was the font (if a map was something he wanted to include, perhaps hand-lettering in an older style might have been lovely) and honestly, it was very, very distracting that the map was used without regard to season, proper orientation in the sky, or continuity. That was--look, you know, it viscerally grabbed my attention every time I saw it, is all I can say. Naked-eye astronomy is awesome; it's worth getting right, or at least marginally right. These were some pretty weird errors.

I take issue with the interpretation of the fight's end, too; we see Beowulf hurl Grendel to the ground, pin him, and tear off his arm. Technically, the text doesn't say this doesn't happen, but the interpretations I've always encountered imply more that Beowulf had him by the hand, and that Grendel tried to escape Beowulf's superhuman grip, but couldn't do so without leaving behind his arm. It's an amazing piece of poetry and one of the great gory awesome scenes in English literature. But you know, I checked out my own copy (trans. Chickering) and a translation online, and really, it is open to interpretation. Personally, I give this presentation the side-eye, but others may feel differently, so whatever.

All in all I did enjoy the book, and want to make special mention of the endnotes. There are some dedications worth reading, in part because, at the end, Hinds apologizes (by name) to those whom he bullied in his youth. I don't know what meaning Beowulf has for Hinds, although he obviously loves and admires the poem, and really threw himself into the work of adapting it to graphic novel form. One of the obvious interpretations of the poem, however, is that it is about right leadership and the correct use of strength; Beowulf is not a bully or a tyrant, and the good kings in Beowulf are explicitly contrasted with images of bad kingship. That Hinds would use his adaptation of Beowulf as a forum to apologize for his incorrect use of strength in earlier days is rather poignant.(less)

Graphic remake of Beowulf. I will admit first, Beowulf is a particular favorite of mine, so my review reflects that. As a general rule, I do not like classics to be tampered with. With that being said, I enjoyed this book. There is something so appealing about a graphic novel (or tale, in this case) for both the English and Art geek in me. The graphics were very much done in Hind's own style, but he stuck to the story, which was a relief after the horrible movie version. Taken in two parts: the...more

Gareth Hinds does graphics for computer games and apparently reinvents classics as graphic novels in his spare time. He’s done Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice” and “King Lear” and just published The Odyssey in January. The illustrations of Beowulf and Grendel on the front and back covers indicate that the drawings will be dark and gritty. I’m hoping for a more creative classic adaptation than P&P&Zombies — something that could perhaps be used to hook student interest or as part of an Old English or epic poem reading ladder.

First page — Tiny-headed Beowulf looks like a cross between Zeus and The Hulk. He also appears to be decomposing. This must be a foreshadowing.

End of Book I — Hinds devoted 20 full pages to the gruesome battle between Beowulf (clad in a manly loincloth and helmet) and Grendel (looking like one of Tolkein’s uruk-hai). Bones were shattered, blood was shed, and then Grendel runs away with one less arm than he came with. Eww.

End of Book II — Another gruesome set of battle scenes between Beowulf and Grendel’s mother, who puts up a better fight than her son did. Beware the momma bear. Hinds snuck an image of 9/11 into Hrothgar’s speech warning Beowulf against pride, which I find to be in poor taste and unnecessarily political.

Of the text included, Hinds managed to find a pretty good balance between readability and the beauty and cadence of Old English poetry, but it would still be difficult for low readers. I liked that he gave each book a distinct color scheme — the first, mostly light browns and black; the second, light browns, red, and greenish-blues for the water-lair; the third and final, purplish-gray and white. The colors lent emotion and tone to the story.

This adaptation simplifies the tale of Beowulf and breaks it down into three easy-to-grasp events. It could be used to introduce the story or as a tool of struggling readers, but I don’t know that I’d necessarily recommend it to teachers or students to read just for kicks. I’m very curious, though, to take a look at his adaptation of The Odyssey.

Side note: I have a difficult time with Children’s and YA authors who try to persuade their readers to think or believe a certain way. Steve Augurde, a British children’s author, wrote a blog post about the fact that children’s authors function as a kind of babysitter to kids and as such, they need to feel a keen sense of responsibility for what they are communicating to those kids. “Children are susceptible. As an audience they're relatively easy to scare, manipulate, and indoctrinate. I feel that children's fiction writers therefore have to be particularly conscious and careful of what they say.” More and more often I encounter educators justifying the political indoctrination of their students instead of working relentlessly to teach students how to think for themselves. I see the same thing in literature, in music, in the words coming out of mouths of celebrities -- people marketing their beliefs the way we market jeans. It's no wonder the country is a mess.(less)

This adaptation of Beowulf is confusing to say the least. A mix of colloquial and verse (yet not quite accessible to reader's at a simple level), a mix of serious drama and semi-comedic batman style onomatopoeic sound effects, and a mix of intense colour and hand drawn detail with flat planes of dull computer generated color.

Through detailed artwork, artist and story teller, Gareth Hinds creatively brings the classic epic poem of Beowulf to life on the pages of this graphic novel. The legend of Beowulf itself isn't a terribly exciting one, though. Beowulf is certainly heroic as he battles the formidable Grendel, Grendel's mother and a fearsome dragon before he ultimately perishes. If there is a lesson to be learned from Beowulf and his story, however, I'm afraid it escapes me, hence the three star rating.
