a) Gareth Hinds's choices in panels 11 and 12 of his <em>"Beowulf" Illustrated</em> shows that Hinds was proud of the Hero-type, Beowulf and that there was no love lost between Beowulf and his opponents.

  • The somber hues that he utilized to cast the epic warrior's heroism and selfless leadership show that Hinds uses this panel-illustrated version of the poem to demonstrate how a leader should be courageous even in the midst of difficulties.

b) Hinds' interpretation of the poem is valid.  He retold the story with glorious details, rendering the heroic saga of Beowulf for young and modern readers to completely grasp the underlying messages.  The strength of character of Beowulf is especially retold with graphic panels instead of words.

Thus, Hinds' adaptation of the poem is so interestingly graphic that modern readers can appreciate all the details of Homer's Beowulf by reviewing the illustrated version.
