Beowulf: The Midgard Epic by James Matthew Byers

Called from across the ocean, BEOWULF responds to KING HROTHGAR's plea. Bringing a small band of warriors, he arrives in Daneland and learns of the terror, GRENDEL. Seemingly unstoppable, Grendel devours flesh and bone as he sees fit.

Weaponry cannot penetrate the creature's hide. Choosing to lay all weaponry aside feigns sleep until the beast arrives. Conquering the creature's horror, the mighty one surpasses Hrothgar's expectations.

Victory, short lived, ends in tragedy. Grendel's MOTHER appears, unleashing the full fury of a woman scorned. Diving beneath murky waters Beowulf makes his way to the lair of the demon. Using a magical sword from the days of the giants, he courts her doom. Severing her head, the Great fighter brings peace to Hrothgar.

After 50 years a thief steals a cup from a sleeping DRAGON's hoard. Silent no longer, the giant wyrm rises, unleashing fiery death upon the great hero's countryside. WIGLAF, a young pupil of the now aged warrior, aids in Beowulf's final conflict.
