“Gone, gone, o form of man! Rise the demon Etrigan!” Etrigan the demon is a great character, even if Jack Kirby wasn’t really into it. Arthurian knight Jason Blood, cursed to inhabit the same body/space as Etrigan, a demon bound into Merlin’s service, has been developed as an incredibly cornerstone of DC’s supernatural/horror sphere of comics. (This was made most obvious in Alan Moore’s run on Saga of the Swap Thing, where Etrigan’s rhyming was excellently elevated to a characteristic of Hell’s lieutenants.) The cover to The Demon issue 002 shows Etrigan crouched on a stone archway, which is dripping water, in a town with a medieval aesthetic or a castle square at nighttime (as the moon is visible on the horizon), ready to pounce on a group of torch-wielding citizens and a uniformed inspector.
