Grendel Tales: The Devil's Hammer

In this 1994 Dark Horse miniseries, writer/artist Rob Walton expands the Grendel mythos with a standalone tale of a medieval warrior whose brutal quest for a legendary hammer becomes entangled with the Grendel legacy. A stark, atmospheric story that trades the series' usual urban setting for a grim fantasy landscape, it showcases Walton's distinctive, shadow-drenched art. Though only three issues long, The Devil's Hammer stands as a memorable, self-contained chapter in the larger Grendel saga.
