Who is Jason Blood?

Few characters in DC's Bronze Age library carry the gothic weight of Jason Blood, conjured into existence by the legendary Jack Kirby with The Demon #1 in 1972. A figure steeped in dark mysticism, Blood has haunted DC's pages for over five decades — a remarkable testament to the enduring power of Kirby's original vision. His adventures have unfolded across The Demon, Action Comics Weekly, and even the prestige anthology Wednesday Comics, placing him in storied company alongside icons like Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern. With 127 catalog appearances and eight key issues to his name, Jason Blood is essential reading for any collector who loves their superhero universe with a generous dash of the occult.
