Grendel Tales: The Devil's Apprentice #1
"Book 1" kicks off Grendel Tales: The Devil's Apprentice with a chilling, intimate moment as Crow, Lydia's son-in-law, endures a harrowing birth during a vampire assault. After the attack, Grant delivers the newborn, Aaron, to Lydia, who returns with him to Laredo Station—the boy’s birthplace—where his unsettling red eyes mark him as something other than human. Written by Jeffrey Lang and brought to life by Steve Lieber’s expressive art and Bernie Mireault’s moody colors, with lettering by Pat Brosseau and a striking cover by Matt Wagner, this issue blends gothic dread with personal stakes in a story that lingers long after the final page.
