The Demon #9 Comic Book (DC Comics, 1973)

This is a vintage comic book titled 'The Demon' (Issue No. 9), published by DC Comics in June 1973. It features iconic artwork by the legendary Jack Kirby, who created the character Etrigan the Demon during his transition to DC. The cover showcases a bold, 20-cent price point and the 'Approved by the Comics Code Authority' stamp. The character is depicted in his signature color palette of yellow skin, red tunic, and light blue/grey cape, set against a dark, atmospheric castle background with a striking shadow of an entity wielding a trident. The physical condition appears moderate, showing signs of shelf wear and age appropriate for a 1970s Silver/Bronze Age переход book. Visible wear includes spine stress marks (color breaking ticks), minor creasing on the right-hand side, blunted corners, and some edge wear along the bottom. The newsprint pages visible at the edge show characteristic yellowing due to oxidation. Despite these flaws, the cover colors remain relatively vibrant with the large, red-and-yellow 'DEMON' masthead standing out. This issue is part of the original 16-issue run and represents a key piece of Jack Kirby's 'Fourth World' era style influence at DC.
