Batman/Grendel (1st Series)

(DC, 1993)
™ and ©1993 DC Comics Inc., Comico the Comics Company, and Matt Wagner

Things have been much too quiet for Grendel lately, so he goes to Gotham City in search of a challenge. Intrigued by that city’s protector, Batman, he launches an involved plot to draw him out.

Grendel’s plot runs true to his cunning nature. Posing as the Riddler, he seeks to interfere with Bruce Wayne’s shipment of the ancient Sphinx head. But while Batman is not fooled by Grendel’s Riddler impersonation, he has no idea what a deadly foe Grendel truly is.

Devil’s Riddle brings Grendel into the DC universe for the first time. As expected, it’s an exciting showdown when this dark assassin meets the Dark Knight.

Note: the second issue of this series reversed titles, becoming “Grendel/Batman: Devil’s Masque.”
