Grendel: Red, White, & Black

Matt Wagner’s Grendel: Red, White, & Black (2002–present, Dark Horse) is a four-issue anthology series that explores the Grendel mythos through a stark, monochromatic lens—each issue limited to a single color (red, white, or black). Wagner scripts every chapter, while a rotating roster of artists—including Dan Brereton, John K. Snyder III, and Mike Huddleston—delivers distinct visual interpretations of the masked antihero’s violent world. This series stands as a bold, experimental chapter in the long-running Grendel saga, showcasing the character’s enduring adaptability across different artistic voices and minimalist palettes.
