Demon Annual #1

Part of DC's 1992 "Eclipso: The Darkness Within" crossover event, this annual puts the Demon front and center in a cover by Joe Phillips that crackles with supernatural menace. The looming blue visage of Eclipso dominates the background, while a snarling, yellow-skinned Demon lunges forward with a staff, and a wild-haired figure in dark clothing races across the scene — a small tiger-like creature bounding alongside — with an eerie glowing orb lighting the chaos. Alan Grant, Joe Phillips, David Johnson, and John Dell bring their talents to "Ex-Nihilo...Death!", promising a story as intense as this striking cover suggests.
