Written by John Ostrander

John Gaunt aka the Grinner aka GrimJack. The mercenary's mercenary. No job too dirty. Set in the city of Cynosure (crossroads of a thousand dimensions, where the laws of physics can change by crossing the street) this volume covers the earliest issues, back when it was just a backup for
Starslayers. You've got John fighting mad gods, vampires, killer bunnies and rescuing space pirates. Plus a bonus prologue story with Roscoe, Jericho Noleski, Blacjac and Godesss, Gordon and Bob the Lizard...
GrimJack has always been a favorite of mine, even when all I knew about the character was the name from an old ad. I spent years hunting down old back-issues trying to complete my run of the series. Which is why I was so happy when IDW picked up the publishing rights on the title and decided to start doing these collections. The only down side to them is that they don't have many of the
Munden's Bar back-up stories. There was something great about seeing TMNT in a bar brawl or the first appearance by Foglio's Heterodyne Boys...
