Bea Wolf (A graphic novel retelling of Beowulf)

Bea Wolf — A Graphic Novel Retelling of Beowulf

by Zach Weinersmith • Illustrated by Boulet

Treeheart is in danger!
The neighborhood hideaway—home to all things wild, rowdy, joyful, and kid-powered—is under attack. Grindle, the cranky grown-up who cannot bear the sound of children having fun, is turning every kid he encounters into… teens and adults. (Truly the worst curse imaginable.)

But there is hope.
The kids call upon the legendary hero Bea Wolf, and what follows is a brilliantly hilarious, action-packed, and unexpectedly heartfelt retelling of Beowulf—perfect for middle grade readers, fans of clever wordplay, and anyone who remembers the magic of a really good fort.

A pitch-perfect blend of epic poetry, chaotic kid energy, and glorious full-color comics.

“Microcosm Publishing & Distribution is a fiercely independent publisher and distributor that empowers readers to make positive changes in their lives, their communities, and their world.
Their books and zines focus on gender, self-care, mental health, punk culture, DIY ethos, witchcraft, social justice, and all the beautifully ‘too niche’ topics mainstream publishing tends to overlook.
Founded in 1996 in Cleveland and now based in both Cleveland and Portland, OR, Microcosm has grown from zines in a milk crate to warehouses filled with books, stickers, patches, card decks, and more — all fueled by the belief that a better world is possible, and we build it together.”
