    Grendel Cycle (1995) 1

    Story and art by Matt Wagner. Grand. Operatic. Powerful. Matt Wagner's Grendel, a mainstay in the comics arena for over ten years, has always been a touchstone of eclecticism and excitement. Unfortunately, many of the original stories have been long out of print and are conspicuously absent from the back-issue bins; therefore, in response to readers' demands, Matt Wagner has compiled this Grendel history book. Grendel Cycle begins with an all-new, eight-page primer, written and fully painted by Matt Wagner (Grendel: Devil Quest, Sandman Mystery Theatre), giving new readers a lavish introduction to the Grendel mythos, while refreshing the memories of those who have been there all along. This is followed by an extensive overview of the lost stories and the Grendel concept itself that combines text and new artwork by the original series artists -- Wagner, Arnold Pander (Triple*X), Bernie Mireault (The Jam), Ron Turner, John K. Snyder III (Harlan Ellison's Dream Corridor), Jay Geldhof, Tim Sale (Batman Halloween Special, Deathblow), and Pat McEown (Grendel Tales: Homecoming) -- all returning for the first time to the characters that made them "hot." Special features include a map of the Grendel World, a timeline of events, and a cover gallery showcasing the artwork from the first 50 issues. This book is a must for every Grendel fan. Don't be the last on your block to get the full story. FC. Cover price $5.95.

    Grendel Classics (1995) 1

    Story and art by Matt Wagner. Lewis Polk is a good cop. But in a bad town, a good cop is the worst thing you can be. When Polk sticks his too-clean nose into the wrong kind of business once too often, he finds Hunter Rose, the original Grendel, all too happy to cut it off. And Rose won't stop cutting there; his wounds tend to run deeper than that. Reprinting issues 16 and 17 of the color Grendel series initially published in 1988, Grendel Classics #1 brings back into print this highly demanded story of the original Grendel, Hunter Rose, with a new format and new cover by Grendel creator Matt Wagner. Wagner utilizes a bold and experimental style for this Chandler-esque character study, exploring one man's struggle to uncover the truth in a corrupt world -- the world of Grendel! 48 pages, FC.
