Up for sale is a VF/NM lot of The Demon issues #1 through #10 from the 1990 DC Comics relaunch written by Alan Grant with art by Val Semeiks. This complete first arc reintroduces Etrigan the Demon in a gritty, supernatural, and darkly humorous take that quickly became a cult favorite among DC horror fans.
These early issues reboot Jack Kirby’s iconic creation for a new generation, blending gothic horror, mystical battles, and medieval mayhem with sharp writing and expressive, energetic artwork. Alan Grant (known for Batman: Shadow of the Bat and Lobo) grounds Etrigan in a twisted, morally gray universe full of monsters, sorcery, and moral corruption.
Perfect for fans of DC’s darker corners, this lot captures everything that made early ‘90s DC Vertigo-adjacent storytelling so magnetic—even before the official imprint took hold.
