NEW BEOWULF COMICS SERIES

AAM/Markosia announced today that Chris Steininger and I will continue the story of Beowulf in the first of several projected mini-series, under the title, Tales of Beowulf. I've been researching the world of Beowulf for some time now, and am incredibly excited about these ongoing comic-books. The books will take place over the approximate 50-year period between when Beowulf returns to Geatland after defeating Grendel and his mother, and before he fights the fire-breathing dragon at the end of the poem. Chris is absolutely pumped about the series, which in large part has to do with his fascination with Conan, and how he was depicted by one of his personal gods, John Buscema. The first series launches in January, 2008 and you can be certain I'll be talking extensively about it here over the coming months.
