Grendel Tales: The Devil's Apprentice

In the late 1990s, Dark Horse expanded its mythos with Grendel Tales: The Devil's Apprentice, a three-issue miniseries that explores the legacy of the Grendel mantle through a new lens. Written by Jeffrey Lang with art by Steve Lieber, this story follows a young man drawn into a world of violence and obsession as he seeks to become the next Grendel. It stands as a distinct, character-driven chapter within the larger Grendel universe, showcasing the franchise's willingness to let different creative teams shape its dark, sprawling narrative.
