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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKnown 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 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.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dark Horse Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50646152413458,"sku":"9781506732305","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_23de82f6-fa24-4649-99e9-5757bb7adee5.jpg?v=1733170993","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/grendel-omnibus-volume-1-hunter-rose-second-edition-9781506732305","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
