Matt Wagner's Grendel


This sketch of Grendel by Matt Wagner was done inside the front cover of my "Devil by the Deed" hardcover. I will never stop wondering why there was a line up in Toronto for a semi-well known artist who puts out a book once in a blue moon, while Matt Wagner... THE Matt Wagner had one person at his table. Now as shocked as I was, I was pretty happy not to have to wait in line. Matt graciously did this sketch without even being asked. My suggestion to everyone out there... buy hardcovers!!! Between Matt and Ethan Van Sciver I have gotten 2 of my favorite sketches without even asking for them, just because I had the hardcovers. Grendel has been a favorite of mine for years, particularily Hunter Rose (as shown in the sketch) and Grendel Prime. Having the sketch inside the front cover with Matt's autograph, easily makes this one of my prized possetions. To learn more about Matt Wagner's books check out his website.
