The Demon #38

Published in 1994, The Demon #38 is part of the long-running series featuring Etrigan the Demon, a character originally created by Jack Kirby in 1972. This particular issue arrives during a period when DC Comics was experimenting with darker, more supernatural themes, following the successful revival of the character during the post-Crisis era. It reflects the creative efforts of writers and artists who sought to balance the character's rhyming, infernal origins with the grittier aesthetic that dominated the mid-1990s comic book industry.

The issue serves as a chapter in the series' ongoing exploration of Etrigan's struggle between his demonic nature and his human host, Jason Blood. Like many titles in the mid-90s, the visual style favored exaggerated dynamism and heavy ink work, a hallmark of the era's house style. While it remains a niche entry compared to the seminal Kirby runs, it is valued by completists and fans of the DC supernatural corner of the universe for maintaining the continuity and tone of a character who remains a cult favorite among readers of occult-themed superhero literature.
