Description

Jack Kirby’s Demon — despite a short-lived original run of 16 issues — endures 47 years after his first appearance in 1972.

Talented creators have reinvigorated, and in some cases outright reinvented, Jack’s supernatural character in the ensuing decades. It’s an all-star list that includes Matt Wagner, John Byrne, John McCrea, and many others.

Add to that list Gabriel Hardman, who, on this splash, provides an iconic and frightening image of the classic character. Gabe’s use of deep black inks and the off-setting lightning and breaking glass create a haunting and dramatic page. (I think the art looks more impressive in black and white than in published color, but you probably guessed that.)

Hardman’s main professional work is creating storyboards for films, a list that includes Spider-Man, Batman, Logan and much more. He’s terrifically talented, and much sought after in Hollywood, so we don’t get enough of his work in comics, which is a definite pity for comic art aficionados.

In the meantime, we can likely look forward to yet another artistic interpretation of Kirby’s character sometime in the future.

After all, we all have our Demons.

This is intense! Hardman is underrated IMO.

The Demon is a personal favorite, and this is an excellent depiction. I can almost see Sienkiewicz in his work. I like how it's both detailed, but fuzzy, too, giving it a great scary feel. Congrats!

I search Demon art here every once in a while to check out the Kirby pieces even though I've never read the story (maybe I should), and came across this page. What an interesting and different take on the character. Congrats on picking it up!
