Bowler Hat Comics Debuts in Previews with
Kid Beowulf and the Blood-Bound Oath

Portland, Oregon-Continuing its upward momentum, Bowler Hat Comics makes its Direct Market debut in Diamond’s December issue of Previews with the initial listing of Kid Beowulf and the Blood-Bound Oath.

Already a hit with teachers, librarians, and classics scholars through a successful national launch in the general book trade, Bowler Hat is excited to present this all-ages graphic novel to readers of another classical nature-classic cartooning.

Created by Alexis E. Fajardo, Kid Beowulf and the Blood-Bound Oath debuts an ongoing original graphic novel series of epic proportions that follows the adventures of 12-year-old twin brothers Beowulf and Grendel. Written and illustrated by Fajardo, this first book in the series uses wit and unique twists to introduce new characters inspired by old heroes and to transform classic literature into a vivid world rooted in classical cartooning.

The Kid Beowulf series will continue to follow the journey of Beowulf and Grendel on their world tour as they travel to foreign lands and meet epic heroes therein. From Charlemagne’s court in France to the island nation of Japan, Beowulf and Grendel will encounter all types of heroes on their odyssey.

Fans of all ages can now find Kid Beowulf and the Blood-Bound Oath at their local comics shop, or by contacting the Comic Shop Locator Service toll free at 1-888-COMICBOOK (1-888-266-4226) or online at http://www.comicshoplocator.com.

Alexis E. Fajardo is a student of the classics-whether Daffy Duck or Damocles-and has created a unique blend of the two in Kid Beowulf. Alexis has taught cartooning throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and currently resides in Santa Rosa, where, when not penning Kid Beowulf, he “works for Peanuts” at the Charles M. Schulz Studio.
