    Descriptive Notes

    iv + 120 pp. (pp. 1-39 are paginated, remainder not); color art. Reprints in a single volume the three issues of Hinds' Beowulf (1999-2000), now with the addition of 3 pages at the start depicting Scyld's funeral (as Hinds explains in a new Afterword). Reprinted 2003 with new cover art.

    Hinds' note on the art media he used, from his website (https://www.garethhinds.com/beowulf.php, as of March 22, 2019):

    The three sections of Beowulf are done in different materials. Part 1 is drawn with ink using a dip pen and brush, then colored digitally. Part 2 is drawn and painted on wood panels using technical pen, watercolor, acrylic, and color pencil. Part 3 is drawn like part 1, but colored using Dr. Martin's dye and white charcoal.
