Matt Wagner has enjoyed a career in comics for over twenty years.
Born and educated in Pennsylvania, his first published work was a
short story that would introduce one of comicdom's most respected
creator-owned characters--the mastermind assassin, GRENDEL. Best
known for this epic creation and his other, more personal,
allegory, MAGE, Matt has also worked on a variety of established
characters. These include his ground-breaking work on the character
of Batman villain, Two-Face, in the graphic novel, FACES, as well
as a five-year stint both developing and generating the stories for
the fan-favorite Vertigo title, SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE. His more
recent efforts in this vein have included writing the DR. MID-NITE
mini-series for DC Comics and serving as the regular cover artist
on the Kevin Smith-penned relaunch of GREEN ARROW.
Known for his character-driven stories and his obvious love of the
world's mythologies, Matt has also enjoyed the distinction of being
one of the only writer/artists allowed to team his own creation
with one of DC's flagship characters in two successive
BATMAN/GRENDEL cross-overs.
In the past few years, Matt has also written and drawn several high
profile projects for DC; a three-issue prestige series starring
Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman; titled TRINITY and a year-long,
project which comprised two mini-series that chronicled some of the
earliest aspects of Batman's career, collectively titled DARK MOON
RISING.
"Wagner experiments with the form of comics by turning each page
into an elegant Art Deco design"—Publishers Weekly
"Grendel is a brave and possibly even reckless experiment that has
succeeded admirably."—Alan Moore (Watchmen)
