Matt Wagner returns to the seminal “Devil by the Deed” Hunter Rose story that started the epic, centuries-spanning Grendel saga.
In this all-new reimagining of “Devil by the Deed,” Wagner brings his decades of experience and artistry back to the famous narrative that first began his lengthy and illustrious career as a comic-book author.
The original tale of the dashing and diabolical Hunter Rose was deceptively brief, considering its cultural impact. Over the years, Wagner has expanded on the story of Hunter Rose and now he weaves the most dramatic of those elements into a brand-new graphic novel.
Grendel: Devil by the Deed—Master’s Edition is Matt Wagner at the height of his artistic and story-telling prowess, featuring 120 all-new story pages that will dazzle first time and longtime readers alike.
Matt Wagner was born on October 9, 1961. He is an American comic book writer and artist, known as the creator of the series Mage and Grendel. He has also worked on comics featuring The Demon and Batman as well as such titles as Sandman Mystery Theatre and Trinity, a DC Comics limited series featuring Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. In 1991, he illustrated part of the "Season of Mists" story arc in Neil Gaiman's The Sandman series. Wagner currently resides in Portland, Oregon, with his wife, Barbara Schutz. They have two children.

"Wagner experiments with the form of comics by turning each page into an elegant Art Deco design"—Publishers Weekly "Grendel is a brave and possibly even reckless experiment that has succeeded admirably."—Alan Moore (Watchmen)
