Etrigan the Demon
The Demon is a superhero and antihero appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Jack Kirby, the titular character, named Etrigan, is a demon from Hell who, despite his violent tendencies, usually finds himself allied to the forces of good, mainly because of the alliance between the heroic characters of the DC Universe and Jason Blood, a human to whom Etrigan is bound. Etrigan is a muscular humanoid creature with orange or yellow skin, horns, red eyes, and pointed, webbed ears. The character was originally based in Gotham City, leading to numerous team-ups with Batman.
Etrigan was inspired by a comic strip of ''Prince Valiant'' in which the eponymous character dressed as a demon. Kirby gave his creation the same appearance as Valiant's mask.
==Publication history==
Jack Kirby created the Demon in 1972 when his Fourth World titles were cancelled. According to Mark Evanier, Kirby had no interest in horror comics, but created Etrigan in response to a demand from DC for a horror character. Kirby was annoyed that the first issue sold so well that DC required him to remain on it and abandon the Fourth World titles before he was done with them.
While his first monthly comic book series was short-lived, and his second was canceled after five years, Etrigan remains a popular supporting character with occasional additional mini-series. Popular series in which Etrigan has appeared include Neil Gaiman's ''The Sandman'' (see Characters of ''The Sandman'' - Minor Angels and Demons), Alan Moore's ''Swamp Thing'', Kevin Smith's ''Green Arrow'' and ''Batman: The Widening Gyre'', Garth Ennis's ''Hitman'', and ''Cosmic Odyssey'' by Jim Starlin and Mike Mignola.
