Bring on the Christmas back-ups: Satan's Little Helper - by Ty Templeton

With Christmas just a few days away I thought this would be a good time to look at some of the festive comic books that featured humorous stories of our comic book heroes. One such fun tale appeared in the first issue of the “DCU Holiday Bash” comic from 1997. This little 2 pager by the wonderful Ty Templeton is a clever and fun story of a Christmas satanic ritual that goes very wrong!

    Another evildoer comes to a bad end in the DCU. The Demon is a great deal of fun, a bright red and yellow character in a genre that usually is rather drab. Thanks.

    The Demon, along with Kamandi and Jimmy Olsen were my favourite Jack Kirby comics at DC.
