Damien

Damien is a character from the WWF Battlemania comic series, sharing the pages with wrestling legends like Jake 'The Snake' Roberts and Randy Savage. The name 'Damien' was famously the name of Jake Roberts's real-life pet python, suggesting a likely connection.

Debuting in 1991's World Wrestling Federation Battlemania #4 — courtesy of creators Laura Hitchcock and Paul Creddick — Damien is a Copper/Modern Age comics character whose story stretches a remarkable 28 years, from the early '90s all the way to 2019. Published through Boom! Studios, this figure shares pages with some of the most electrifying names in wrestling history: Jake "The Snake" Roberts, The Undertaker, The Ultimate Warrior, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and Ric Flair. That's rarefied company, and for fans of comics that blur the line between the squared circle and the illustrated page — particularly across titles like WWE: Then. Now. Forever. and WWE — Damien is a fascinating piece of that colorful crossover world worth tracking down.
