Dark Horse Edition - 1st printing. Collects Grendel: Devil's Legacy (2000) #1-12. Writen by Matt Wagner. Art by Arnold Pander, Jacob Pander, Jay Geldhof, and Rich Rankin. Cover by Matt Wagner. Fathered by rape and suicide, the daughter of Stacy Palumbo and reluctant heir of a bloody mantle, Christine Spar is a study in seething rage. The author of the definitive account of Grendel's life, Spar is living the life of a minor celebrity, but that's all about to change. The very subject which propelled her to success is about to drag her into a dark pit of despair and anger. Soon Spar's life of metropolitan leisure will be eclipsed by that which sleeps within her, the bitter blade of Grendel and the desire for brutal balance: an eye for an eye, a death for a death. Along the way, she will find tragic love, take many lives, suffer a badly battered body, and take on the old foe of her adoptive grandfather, Hunter Rose. This book features dramatic, ahead-of-its-time art by the Pander Brothers and refreshed colors with a palette of many emotions by Jeromy Cox. Extras include a gallery of Wagner's brilliant painted covers for the series. Softcover, 328 pages, full color. Mature Readers Cover price $29.95.

Dark Horse Edition - 1st printing. Collects Grendel: The Devil Inside (2001) #1-3. Written by Matt Wagner. Art by Bernie Mireault. The spirit of Grendel seethes in the mind of everyone it encounters. A touch of death, of fear, of anger infects all, gripping at the soul, and wreaking havoc on the lives of those in its path. In this now-classic chapter of the Grendel saga, we return to Brian Li Sung, a once-successful Broadway stage manager who became Grendel after losing the love of his life--the granddaughter of the original Grendel, Hunter Rose. Now down and out, living in the slums of Brooklyn, Li Sung struggles as an off-off-off-Broadway stage manager by day; by night, he stews in the hatred and violence that is Grendel, and becomes a cold-blooded killer. When old friends can't help him, and the city can no longer cope with this scourge of destruction, it's up to one desperate cop to stop the murderous rampage, or die trying. Collecting the three-issue miniseries. Softcover, 88 pages, full color. Cover price $12.95.
