Grendel: The early years
We couldn't help it. We weren't going to read Grendel so soon, but irresistibly drawn to Matt Wagner's masterpiece. Once he started reading, he couldn't stop. Klint was soon sucked back into the world of Grendel too. In this episode, we look at the earliest Grendel stories from Comico Primer, the original black and white series, and the classic Devil by the Deed.

Alan Moore's early work in Warrior Magazine issues 1-12
We can't talk about the Dark Age of Comics without talking about Alan Moore, so today we're diving into Warrior Magazine, the anthology that first published Alan Moore's groundbreaking V for Vendetta and Marvelman comics. Previously, Moore had worked mostly on humor strips comics and short sci-fi stories. Warrior gave Moore his first shot at writing the more serious, long-form superhero comics that he's known for today. In this episode, we look at some of the background and context of Warrior, Moore's work inside of it, and some of the other stories published inside. Music by krudler.bandcamp.com
