“Blood and Tinsel”

In "Blood and Tinsel," a bored demon named Dxyp attempts a reckless summoning that backfires, pulling a young boy into his realm instead of transporting himself to Earth—unintended chaos ensues. Written by Jack C. Harris and brought to life with Steve Ditko’s distinctive art and inks, this eerie 1978 tale blends supernatural mischief with a touch of dark whimsy, all rendered in Jerry Serpe’s colors and Todd Klein’s precise lettering. The cover, by Joe Orlando and Dick Giordano, captures the story’s unsettling tone with striking detail.
