Dark Horse Direct is celebrating 40 years of Matt Wagner’s Grendel with a Hunter Rose 40th Anniversary Statue.
Designed and concepted by Grendel creator Matt Wagner, sculpted by Steve Kiwus, with prototyping and paint by J. W. Productions, this polyresin statue features the elegant costumed assassin as he looms over the city with his two-pronged fork, ready to strike. Grendel stands at 11.25” tall on a 5” wide base adorned with his signature bright red rose, dutifully watching over the city.
“GRENDEL has stood the test of time like few other independent comics,” said Matt Wagner in a press release. “So this striking all-new statue seems like the perfect monument to celebrate and commemorate the character’s 40th anniversary! I couldn’t be happier with how Darkhorse Direct and sculptor Steve Kiwus have brought my original design to life. This evocative and beautiful piece is a must-have for any serious GRENDEL collector.”
The Grendel: Hunter Rose 40th Anniversary Edition is limited to 500 units, has a SRP of $249.99, and is expected to ship in July 2023.
