Batman / Grendel: El Acertijo del Diablo #1

"El Acertijo del Diablo" marks a bold crossover in 1993 as Matt Wagner and Ernest Riera team up to plunge Hunter Rose—disguised as the riddle-wielding Acertijo—into Gotham City, where he schemes to steal an ancient Egyptian Sphinx while testing Batman’s limits. With Wagner handling writing, art, inks, and colors, and María Teresa Barreda on letters, the story unfolds with layered deception, as Rachel and Hillary’s paths intersect with Bruce and Rose in ways that promise escalating tension. The cover by Wagner captures the eerie, puzzle-like mood of the tale, setting the stage for a mind games-driven clash.
