Grendel

Few characters carry a name as mythically charged as Grendel, and this Comico creation — debuted in 1986 courtesy of Arnold Pander and Jacob Pander — arrived right in the thick of comics' Copper Age ferment. With only a handful of catalog appearances spread across Grendel, Comico Checklist, and even Fish Police, this is a rare, niche presence rather than a ubiquitous headliner, sharing pages with a compelling cast including Christine Spar, Tujiro XIV, and Niccolo. For the dedicated Comico completist, that scarcity is precisely the appeal — a character wrapped in the distinctive indie energy of the late '80s, waiting to be rediscovered.
