Grendel: Devil Quest

From the Publisher:

Most often, the lush paintings of Grendel creator Matt Wagner grace book covers only, but here, with the uncensored account of Grendel-Prime’s quest to contact the spirit of the original Grendel, Hunter Rose, Wagner brings his astonishing brushwork to an entire volume’s worth of storytelling!

In seven chapters, all written and gorgeously painted by Wagner, the deadly cyborg Grendel-Prime pursues the past with singular purpose, even while the decadent and decaying world he has forsaken hunts him for reasons of its own. With each chapter a decidedly adult twist on the children’s rhyme, “Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief, doctor, lawyer, Indian Chief,” this tightly crafted work is an essential piece of the Grendel canon and a tie-in to Wagner’s popular Batman/Grendel epic.

Out of print for over a decade, this special collection brings the unstoppable and unrivaled Grendel-Prime to Dark Horse’s library of Grendel hardcovers, alongside the landmark editions of Grendel Archives and Grendel: Devil by the Deed.
