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.
"Grendel is a brave and possibly even reckless experiment that has succeeded admirably."—Alan Moore (Watchmen)
