The Demon #1 - Jack Kirby art & cover + 1st appearance

Jack Kirby

The Demon v1 #1, 1972 - During the age of King Arthur, Merlin calls forth a creature from the depths. Jack Kirby's hellish creation makes his first appearance. Past the boilerplate first issue cover, the artist opens with a decorative splash of the wizard. The double page spread that follows is a stunning rendition of the fall of Camelot, with all its fury and violence. Kirby uses only three splash pages, but this origin story is rife with explosive panels. Mike Royer's inks give weight and mass to the Demon, improving upon Kirby's already formidable pencils. This story was later reprinted in DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest #5. This is 1 of 16 Demon issues by Kirby. /// key 1st appearance, 1st cover, 1st origin Demon, 1st issue
