Blue Devil #20

Halloween comes early (or late) for Blue Devil in this January 1986 issue billed as the "Tricks or — More Tricks Issue!" The cover by Paris Cullins and Gary Martin stages a wonderfully uneasy scene: Blue Devil and two wide-eyed companions stare up in alarm at a looming, tentacled extradimensional creature whose massive booted foot dominates the foreground of what appears to be a concert stage. True to its promise of "ear-splitting music, extradimensional monsters, and plenty of snacks," this issue wraps holiday mischief and supernatural chaos into one gloriously offbeat package that captures everything charming about DC's most lighthearted demonic hero.
