About the series
Matt Wagner’s dark, philosophical saga takes a sharp turn with this single-issue Comico release, which peels back the mask of the Grendel legacy to explore the monstrous impulses lurking within ordinary people. Illustrated by Bernie Mireault, Grendel: The Devil Inside (1989) distills the series’ core themes of violence and identity into a taut, standalone story. It’s a pivotal, self-contained chapter that deepens the mythos without requiring a long backstory, showcasing Wagner’s knack for psychological horror in a compact, potent package.
