DC Finest: The Demon: Birth of the Demon
Description
DC Finest: The Demon: Birth of the Demon collects the earliest and essential tales of Etrigan the Demon, tracing his fiery origin from the explosive debut by Jack Kirby to the Bronze Age evolution of his mystic bond with Jason Blood. This omnibus gathers The Demon #1-16 (1972-1973) and notable team-ups in The Brave and the Bold, along with appearances in Detective Comics, Wonder Woman, and more. With scripts by Len Wein and Gerry Conway and artwork by Steve Ditko and a cadre of creators, the collection charts Etrigan's cursed pact, centuries of magic, betrayal, and vengeance, and the demon's struggle between his monstrous nature and a human conscience. A landmark snapshot of early DC supernatural storytelling, it also showcases Kirby's radical visual imagination and the era's blend of occult myth and heroic action.
