Batman / Grendel: Devil's Riddle #1

In Batman / Grendel: Devil's Riddle #1 (1993), a 4.95 USD comic from DC, Matt Wagner crafts a darkly layered mystery where Gotham’s shadows grow deeper with the arrival of Rose and the unsettling presence of Grendel, who twists the Riddler’s game into something far more personal. With Grendel targeting Hillary’s daughter to uncover secrets about the Sphinx, the stage is set for a tense cat-and-mouse game across Gotham’s underbelly. The story unfolds with sharp, moody art by Wagner, whose distinctive style and inks bring a gritty, psychological edge to the tale, while Joe Matt’s colors and Ken Bruzenak’s lettering deepen the atmosphere.
