Batman/Grendel TPB:

troubled but beloved city, Batman uncovers a new threat when Hunter Rose, the original Grendel,
arrives in Gotham. It is a battle of might and minds as the Dark Knight faces off against this
sophisticated and deadly assassin. Years later, Batman’s ceaseless vigil is disturbed once again, this

Grendel Hardcover: Devil by the Deed
Written by Matt Wagner, Pencils by Matt Wagner, Inks by Rich Rankin, Coloring by Chris Pitzer
A seminal work by groundbreaking comics creator Matt Wagner (Batman: The Mad Monk; Sandman
Mystery Theatre) returns to print in a new hardcover edition with an introduction by Alan Moore!
When Wagner first serialized Grendel: Devil by the Deed as a backup in his critically acclaimed title
Mage, its innovative storytelling techniques, philosophical undertones, and charismatic anti-hero
ignited a devoted following. Introducing Hunter Rose as the brilliant, twisted assassin Grendel, it gave
birth to what would become a centuries-spanning epic exploring the roots and consequences of
violence.
This influential tale has been collected only twice in the past twenty years, quickly selling out each time.
Now, for the first time in hardcover, Dark Horse presents the book that brought one of the most popular
alternative comics characters to life and marked the auspicious arrival of one of the greatest visionaries
of modern comics! Rated 16+. 48 PGS.

Grendel TPB: Devil Inside
Written & Illustrated by Matt Wagner
The spirit of Grendel seethes in the mind of everyone it encounters. A touch of death, of fear, of anger
infects all, gripping at the soul, and wreaking havoc on the lives of those in its path. In this now-classic
chapter of the Grendel saga, we return to Brian Li Sung, a once-successful Broadway stage manager
who became Grendel after losing the love of his life--the granddaughter of the original Grendel, Hunter
Rose. Now down and out, living in the slums of Brooklyn, Li Sung struggles as an off-off-off-Broadway
stage manager by day; by night, he stews in the hatred and violence that is Grendel, and becomes a
cold-blooded killer. When old friends can't help him, and the city can no longer cope with this scourge of
destruction, it's up to one desperate cop to stop the murderous rampage, or die trying. Collecting the
three-issue miniseries. All-new cover painting by Grendel creator Matt Wagner. 88 PGS. Rated Ages 17+

Grendel TPB: Devil's Legacy
Written by Matt Wagner, Pencilled by Arnold Pander, Cover by Matt Wagner
Fathered by rape and suicide, the daughter of Stacy Palumbo and reluctant heir of a bloody mantle,
Christine Spar is a study in seething rage. The author of the definitive account of Grendel's life, Spar is
living the life of a minor celebrity, but that's all about to change. The very subject which propelled her to
success is about to drag her into a dark pit of despair and anger. Soon Spar's life of metropolitan
leisure will be eclipsed by that which sleeps within her, the bitter blade of Grendel and the desire for
brutal balance: an eye for an eye, a death for a death. Along the way, she will find tragic love, take many
lives, suffer a badly battered body, and take on the old foe of her adoptive grandfather, Hunter Rose.
This book features dramatic, ahead-of-its-time art by the Pander Brothers and refreshed colors with a
palette of many emotions by Jeromy Cox. Extras include a gallery of Wagner's brilliant painted covers for
the series. 328 PGS. Rated Ages 17+

Grendel Hardcover: Devil's Quest
Written & Illustrated by MATT WAGNER
In seven chapters, all written and lusciously painted by Wagner, the deadly cyborg Grendel-Prime
pursues the past with singular purpose, even while the decadent and decaying world he has forsaken
hunts him for reasons of its own. With each chapter a twisted relation to the children's rhyme, "Rich
man, poor man, beggar man, thief, doctor, lawyer, Indian chief," this tightly crafted work is an essential
piece of the Grendel canon, and a tie-in to Wagner's popular Batman/Grendel series. Out of print for
over decade, this edition brings the unstoppable and unrivaled Grendel-Prime to Dark Horse's library of
Grendel hardcovers alongside the already highly successful Grendel Archives and Grendel: Devil by the
Deed. 64 PGS. Rated Ages 18 +
