ORIGINAL GRAPHIC NOVEL: The Beast of Wolfe's Bay
www.wolfesbay.com
335% funded on Kickstarter
“I'd like to give Erik Evensen
a high-five.”

—GEEKS OF DOOM
“Snappy and perfect;
​brilliantly fun.”

—GOD OF COMICS
The Beast of Wolfe's Bay is a contemporary adaptation of Beowulf, combined with academic satire and a dose of contemporary nerd culture. It follows Anthropology graduate student Brian Wegman and folklorist Winifred Roth as they join a group of law enforcement officers in their investigation into strange happenings, with evidence pointing to cryptozoology. The Beast of Wolfe's Bay was funded through Kickstarter and has since been featured in several academic publications about Beowulf in popular culture.
