Grendel: War Child

Matt Wagner's Grendel: War Child (1993–present, Dark Horse) is a standalone, single-issue chapter in the ongoing Grendel saga, spotlighting the talents of artists Ken Henderson and Patrick McEown. It delves into the violent legacy of the Grendel persona, exploring themes of war and identity through Wagner's signature blend of pulp action and psychological depth. As a brief but potent entry in the long-running series, it offers a focused glimpse into the mythos that has made Grendel a cornerstone of independent comics.
