it said Frodo was killed by Boromir, and then he defeats The Dark Lord and becomes a King of Gondor.

And the course of history was altered forever!

It looks as though this offering of Beowulf is a pukka attempt, thank goodness.

...and a lovely thing it is, too. I recommend it. Its only major fault: the font is so small that an Old Whippersnapper like me has to squint just a bit. (I keep putting off those reading glasses...) But the pictures are intriguing and carefully done. And for th price...! I picked up a copy of the first edition, since it was on sale, and who knows. I will loan it to my nephews... after I finish it.

Wow, I wish I'd clicked on this thread sooner. I actually have the Beowulf comics, in their original 3-piece form. I picked them up at a comic expo in Charleston. For anyone who ordered them, you'll love them, I do. They're very very well drawn and the story is very true to the original.

Incidently, I also have "The Hobbit" comic book that someone up above mentioned, and I'm quite pleased with it too. It's the story nearly verbatim, and the artistry isn't bad at all.

Yeah, I'm a comic book geek.
