I’m excited to report that this time next week I’ll be traveling to Aachen, Germany to be a guest at the Comiciade Comics Festival!

Since this is my first European show I thought it would be a great opportunity to introduce Kid Beowulf to new fans so I put together a mini-comic with a few translated passages from Books 1 & 2. Aachen is a lovely, history-laden city – it was Charlemagne’s home back in the 8th century. I visited briefly several years ago and look forward to this return trip.

Beowulf and Grendel have been to Aachen before too – they passed through in Book 2, The Song of Roland. Special thanks to Stephan Luesse, a long-time fan who helped translate these passages into German.
