Grendel: Devil by the Deed #[nn]

This collection presents the original 1986 Comico miniseries that launched Matt Wagner's epic Grendel saga, chronicling the origin of the first Grendel—a masked, feral outlaw who terrorizes a dystopian city. The story follows the rise and fall of Hunter Rose, a brilliant but twisted criminal mastermind who adopts the Grendel identity, setting the stage for the legacy that would span generations. Wagner's stark, expressionistic artwork and noir-infused narrative established the tone for one of independent comics' most enduring antihero franchises.
