Demon

Riding out of the Bronze Age in 1984, Demon made their debut in The Shade Special #1 under the pen of creator Rik Levins, launching a career that would stretch across sixteen years in the pages of AC Comics. This is a character steeped in the Western tradition, turning up most frequently in titles like Best of the West and Blazing Western — the kind of frontier-flavored fare that AC championed when few other publishers still rode that trail. Demon shares those dusty pages with the likes of The Latigo Kid, Charlie Starrett, and Duke Cartee, keeping genuinely storied Western company, and one of their slim handful of appearances carries the weight of a collector-recognized key issue — not bad for a figure with a lean but intriguing catalog presence. If you love the niche, passionate world of Western comics and the publishers who kept the genre alive into the modern era, Demon is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through AC's back catalogue so rewarding.
