The DEMON was JACK KIRBY's third longest lasting book for DC COMICS. KAMANDI was the outright winner at around 40 issues, MISTER MIRACLE managed to make 18, and The Demon hit 16 before cancellation. Poor Jack seemed thwarted at every turn at DC, who clearly had different ideas on how to use his talents than he did. Makes you wonder why they ever bothered to hire him away from MARVEL in the first place.
Perhaps it was merely a ploy to deprive Marvel of what DC regarded as their opposition's 'chief creative force', but, if so they miscalculated. Marvel hardly noticed JK's absence, and DC failed to capitalise on the powerhouse they had in their midst. It's only now, many years after the fact, that Jack's DC work is being appreciated by the wider audience it deserves, but failed to garner at the time.
So, having already looked at covers 1-5 here, we now turn our attention to the next five on the list. Don't forget to keep your eyes peeled for the third and final post in this series, in which we'll showcase the last six covers in this sadly short-lived title.
