Dark Horse subsequently launched Grendel Tales, stories set in the world established by Wagner, created by other writers and artists, including Darko Macan and Edvin Biuković.

The publishing rights languished for several years after Comico's bankruptcy, but Grendel resurfaced at Dark Horse Comics with the ten-part series Grendel: War Child, written by Wagner. Grendel became a synonym for The Devil with the title held by the emperor of the world (Grendel-Khan) and members of a warrior society identical to samurai. The name Grendel took on several meanings as the stories portrayed a dystopian future. After a brief return to stories of Hunter Rose (actually two in-universe fictional novels written by Captain Wiggins, a supporting character from the Christine Spar arc), Wagner then spun the series further into the future, with the Grendel identity affecting a variety of people.
The identity passed briefly, and tragically, to her deluded boyfriend Brian Li Sung. It began with a story set in the near future, with Christine Spar, Hunter's posthumous biographer, assuming the identity of Grendel to pursue a mission of revenge. It was written by Wagner and drawn by a variety of artists, including the Pander Brothers, Bernie Mireault, Tim Sale, John K. There followed an ongoing series which lasted 40 issues. Wagner owned the character, however, so he used the opportunity to re-tell the story of Hunter Rose in a far less conventional style in Grendel: Devil by the Deed, serialized as a backup story in Wagner's series Mage this was subsequently collected as a 48-page one-shot. This was quickly cancelled due to the publisher's financial troubles. He first appeared in October 1982 in the anthology Comico Primer, and was given his own series in 1983. As Grendel, he worked as an assassin before taking control of New York City's organized crime. Grendel was the masked identity of Hunter Rose, a successful author.
