The Demon #4

This December 1972 issue of Jack Kirby and Mike Royer's The Demon delivers a cover that grabs you immediately: a towering, purple-robed sorcerer dangles Etrigan the Demon like a puppet on strings, while a struggling captive writhes at the villain's feet — evil boiling over from "the eerie wilderness of Translyvania" to challenge Merlin himself. The bold red-and-yellow composition practically radiates menace, perfectly capturing the grand, mythic energy Kirby brought to this series. Inside, the feature story "The Creature from the Beyond" is joined by a backup tale teasing "The Strange Thing That Lives on Fear," making this a satisfyingly packed package of supernatural adventure.
