Grendel Tales: The Devil's Apprentice #2

"Book 2" in Grendel Tales: The Devil's Apprentice #2 (1997) finds Aaron, now eighteen, deep in his transformation under Lydia’s tutelage as the legacy of Grendel takes a darker turn. When John assumes leadership of the vampires and kills Lydia, Aaron sets out alone, forging uneasy alliances with other vampires to hunt down his enemy. Written by Jeffrey Lang and illustrated by Steve Lieber, with colors by Bernie Mireault and letters by Pat Brosseau, the issue’s cover by Matt Wagner captures the growing intensity of Aaron’s descent.
