Epic poetry has inspired storytellers for centuries, but few have made it as accessible and entertaining for modern readers as Alexis Fajardo. On this episode, Alexis joins the Bandits to discuss The Kid Beowulf Odyssey Annual, the latest adventure in his acclaimed all-ages graphic novel series that reimagines classic myths through the eyes of twin brothers Beowulf and Grendel. The conversation explores Alexis's love of mythology, his approach to adapting legendary tales for today's audiences, and the challenge of balancing education, humor, and action in a way that appeals to readers of all ages. Along the way, Alexis reflects on his career as a cartoonist and editor, the enduring appeal of epic storytelling, and what's next for the ever-expanding world of Kid Beowulf.
