Grendel fans have long awaited the reprinting of the early GRENDEL comics published by Comico. On July 25, Dark Horse will release the first such collection, titled GRENDEL CLASSICS. The 48-page comic reprints GRENDEL #s 16 and 17, written and illustrated by Matt Wagner. The story, featuring the original Grendel, Hunter Rose, has been recolored by Bernie Mireault. Wagner provides a new cover for the comic, which is the first of two issues priced at $3.95 ($5.55 Canadian).
