The Demon #11

The cover of The Demon #11 (1973) wastes no time setting the stakes — a massive, fur-covered brute wearing a purple mask charges through a city park, scattering panicked civilians and sending the Demon himself flying in his vivid red-and-yellow costume. Jack Kirby's pencils, inked by Mike Royer, pack the scene with kinetic chaos, every figure tumbling or scrambling as Baron Von Evilstein's creature tears through everything in its path. It's a wonderfully energetic snapshot of the kind of grand, imaginative storytelling that defined Kirby's early '70s DC work.
