Volkmar Fleckenstein began a self-published series of comics in 2022 titled The Saga of Bodvar Bjarki. The first volume has been published and the second will be published some time after the beginning of July or 2022. Fleckenstein has created a story that adapts and combines texts such as "Bjarkarimur" and the saga of Hrolf Kraki. In his description for the series, Fleckenstein notes that he "did a long research and with this project I want to tell you who is really behind the troll Grendel, Grendel's mother and the dragon. And why many scholars agree that Bodvar Bjarki (old norse (sic): Warlike Little-Bear) and BEOWULF (old english (sic): Bee-wolf = Bear) could be the same person!" The series, then, is not so much an adaptation of Beowulf, but rather relates the tale that is meant to show that there were prior existing texts that were then combined to make the later poem. A word of caution: this series features a lot of nudity and explicit sex.
