Description

Grendel By Matt Wagner
�The Prince of Darkness is a Gentleman.� - William Shakespeare, King Lear
With 2023�s Grendel: Devil By the Deed, Master�s Edition, Matt Wagner retured to Hunter Rose (AKA Grendel), the masked crime lord who captivated and terrified all of New York City, from high society to the criminal underworld.
With the expanded retelling, the sophistication of Wagner�s storytelling is apparent as he seamlessly integrates elements from later tales like, Grendel: Behold the Devil, Grendel: Black, White, and Red, and Grendel: Red, White, and Black to enrich and reinforce the Grendel lore he has been building since the character�s debut in 1982�s Comico Primer #2.
I remember reading the original Dark Horse printing of Devil By the Deed for the first time as a kid, probably when I was way too young to fully comprehend or appreciate the depth and darkness of Wagner�s elegant storytelling.
It was unsettling. It made me uncomfortable. And I could not stop coming back to it.
Every time I revisit it, I get something new out of it. Hunter Rose was the first antagonist to truly captivate my attention. Attention that would be further captured by other storytelling featuring complicated leads that would typically be antagonists, such as The Godfather, Breaking Bad, and Succession,
At the inaugural Comic Art Fans Original Art Expo I had the absolute pleasure of having a long conversation with Matt over my appreciation of his work, I asked if he was taking commissions �for the weekend, and if so could I pitch an idea for a commission I have had living in my head for years never expecting it to actually happen, but Matt really liked the idea and executed it flawlessly. �
Thank you to Matt Wagner for this incredible story and mythology that continues to captivate my imagination with its alluring darkness.
