Dark Horse Edition - 1st printing. Collects Grendel backup stories from Mage: The Hero Discovered (1985) #6-14.

Story and art by Matt Wagner.

Bonus pin-ups by Mike Allred, Guy Davis, Kelley Jones, Teddy H. Kristiansen, Jason Pearson, Time Sale, and John K. Snyder, III. A seminal work by groundbreaking comics creator Matt Wagner (Batman: The Mad Monk; Sandman Mystery Theatre) returns to print in a new hardcover edition with an introduction by Alan Moore!

When Wagner first serialized Grendel: Devil by the Deed as a backup in his critically acclaimed title Mage, its innovative storytelling techniques, philosophical undertones, and charismatic anti-hero ignited a devoted following.

Introducing Hunter Rose as the brilliant, twisted assassin Grendel, it gave birth to what would become a centuries-spanning epic exploring the roots and consequences of violence.

Softcover (Stapled, NOT Square Bound), 48 pages, full color.
