DC Comics · The Demon #10 · July 1973 · 20¢ · 32 pages
Grade: FN/VF 7.0
Cover by Jack Kirby.
Written and illustrated by Jack Kirby — every page of this issue comes from the same hand that built the character from the ground up. Etrigan the Demon, bonded to Jason Blood since the fall of Camelot, was Kirby's invention wholesale: concept, costume, mythology, execution. By issue #10, Kirby had the series running at full throttle, deep into the supernatural menace and occult plotting that defined the run. The specific story content for this issue is not confirmed in our records, so we're leaving the plot summary out rather than fill the space with guesswork.
The Demon ran 16 issues, all under Kirby, then went dark until Matt Wagner revived it in 1987. This is squarely from the original run — Kirby's DC exclusive period, post-Marvel, when he launched New Gods, Forever People, Mister Miracle, and The Demon in rapid succession. Of those four titles, The Demon is the one that has aged into something like a cult object: short run, singular voice, no dilution.
Condition FN/VF 7.0 — .
We use what the scientists are calling artificial intelligence to research and write our descriptions — it gives us more time to add books to our website and provide you with a wider array of inventory. We think Klaatu would approve. Details are verified but the robot does slip up. We're not infallible. Every book is graded by a human collector who has actually held it.
