Description

Historic 1st app of Hitman page...just as important, this is the very first meeting of Hitman and Demon.

Love the dialogue of Demon as he "introduces" himself to Hitman...as he knows Tommy can read minds (along with his x-ray vision).

Lucky to get this page, along with the other 1st Hitman pages in my collection, directly from the artist John McCrea some 20 years ago. A great artist and a great human being.

Love that crazed look on the Demon with the guns in his face. Ennis was on fire with ideas here and McCrea's style is just right for the unhinged fun!
