Dead of Night: Devil-Slayer

In 2009, Marvel revived a dark corner of its supernatural history with Dead of Night: Devil-Slayer, a single-issue one-shot written and drawn by Kaare Andrews. The story reimagines the obscure 1970s character Eric Payne, a Vietnam veteran who gains demonic powers, as a gritty, modern-day monster hunter. This self-contained tale stands out for Andrews' visceral, painted art style and its unflinching tone, offering a standalone horror-noir entry in the Marvel Universe that feels both timeless and unsettling.
