Petey the Demon

A minor but memorable corner of DC's supernatural landscape, Petey the Demon made his debut in the pages of Superman #24 back in 1988, conjured up by the creative team of Roger Stern and Kerry Gammill during the Copper Age's rich reinvention of the Man of Steel's world. With only a handful of catalogued appearances spread across an impressive 33-year span, Petey is a rare curiosity — the kind of offbeat character who pops up just enough to leave you wanting more. The company is undeniably stellar: sharing pages with Superman, Doctor Fate, Nabu, The Flash, and Green Lantern puts this little demon in some of DC's most iconic adventures, touching both the cosmic and the supernatural corners of the universe. If you love the quirky, unexpected figures lurking at the edges of DC's grand tapestry, Petey the Demon is exactly the sort of discovery that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
