Kid Beowulf creator Alexis E. Fajardo shares an update!

It's been a year since Kid Beowulf started on GoComics, and book one just ended - now is the perfect time binge-read from the beginning (all 185 pages) and prepare yourself for the next KidB. story, set to launch July 6! The new story is called "Shild and the Dragon," and it's a prequel to the events of book one. The tale follows a hunter named Shild (Beowulf's great-grandfather), who encounters a dragon in the wilds of Daneland. Shild discovers a world filled with monsters and slayers and his special place within it. The new story will run four days a week and is a great place to hop on for first-time readers, too. 

I've wanted to draw this story for a while - in the first book, the Dragon mentions meeting Shild, but we never get to see what happens. Now, this prequel expands on that encounter and gives greater context to the characters in book one. Below is a pencil and ink detail from the upcoming story.
