Matt Wagner began his comics career as a writer and artist on his crime comic, Grendel, in 1982. Comico published the first 40 issues of an ongoing comic after Wagner apparently narrated the full story. But Grendel became something much bigger than any single protagonist. From Hunter Rose to Christine Spar, from Orion Assante to Grendel-Prime, Grendel comics have spanned publishers (Comico and Dark Horse Comics), artists, and enormous periods of time to tell a story about humanity facing to a corrupting and intangible force known as Grendel. This video talks about the history, influences and narrative choices behind the comic strip.
