The Demon

Conjured into the wonderfully weird world of Howard the Duck in 1977 by the legendary Bronze Age duo of Steve Gerber and Gene Colan, The Demon is one of Marvel's more delightfully offbeat curios — the kind of character only that gloriously strange corner of the Marvel universe could produce. Debuting in a series celebrated for its surreal, satirical edge, this figure shares the page with a fascinatingly eclectic cast that includes The Cat, The Space Ace, and The Starchild, hinting at the wild, genre-bending company Howard always seemed to attract. With appearances stretching across four decades into 2020 — and a place in the Marvel Masterworks collections that preserve the Howard the Duck legacy — The Demon has earned a quiet, cult-worthy footnote in Bronze Age history. A rare find with only a handful of catalog appearances, this is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes comic collecting such a rewarding treasure hunt.
