Description
Unlike the wolf who intimidated Palumbo with the nearness of his bulk, Grendel's intimidation and threats are more direct. Palumbo assures Grendel the plan to entrap Argent is perfectly concocted and laid.

Another lucky acquisition that pleased several of my OCA wants. I wanted art by Phil Hester? Check. I wanted something featuring Grendel? Check. I wanted my first ever complete story? Check.

This is page 6 of an 8-page story that appeared in GRENDEL: RED, WHITE & BLACK issue #2 back in 2002. Each of the four issues included five 8page stories, all written by Grendel creator Mat Wagner. Red White & Black was the third 4book series.

The story is a simple story of double-crossing betrayal, but told with flair and a twist that Grendel deserves. The story features great pictures of Argent the wolf, Grendel, Stacey, and Hunter Rose.

Incredible visual engineering.  Having panels 2-4 be popped out over a background image of Grendel underscores how deeply rooted in everything Grendel is; how pervasive the evil; how foundational the rot...  And Grendel's reflection in the glasses at the bottom feels like Palumbo is willfully assuming empty, bloody eye-sockets.  Chilling and wonderful.  More huge congrats, Earl!

Thanks. I agree this page layout is exceptional. The thick blocks of blacks make a big artistic statement.
