Daimon Hellstrom

Got a little wardrobe change here.

We've got the son of Satan, Damon Hellstrom.

Oh, yeah.

Even got my little pentagram on my neck and everything for it.

All right, so Damon Hellstrom, the son of Satan, was a character that came out of the 1970s during the big occult and monster craze.

It's when the Comics Co. kind of loosened up on some of its standards and Marvel could start doing things like Dracula and Frankenstein and horror books.

And they were able to do a book called Ghost Rider.

And in Ghost Rider's first issue not his first appearance but his first issue damon hellstrom shows up but he doesn't really kind of get fleshed out more until marvel spotlight picks up with issue number 12 and that's when you really start getting into this son of satan character um for me though what got me into this character is this thing right here, Defenders number 100.

And then she and her brother kinda became recurring characters in it.

Then there's Catherine Reynolds, who was a supporting character in Gerber's run on Damien Hellstrom, the Son of Satan.

Then there's Chan Lu Chow, who is the main character from the original Fing Fang Foom story by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in Strange Tales from 1961.

And there's Martin Gold, who's a journalist, who really originally appeared in Gerber's Lilith, Daughter of Dracula stories.

Marvel was pumping out a lot of new books at this point.

We had single-digit issues of Black Goliath, Iron Fist, The Inhumans, Marvel Classics, Son of Satan, and the one that I bought, Supervillain Team-Up, number five.

So Dan, what did you pick up this month?

Well, I was a Marvel, Marvel, Marvel person.

Yeah.

You know, uh, all the horror comics that Marvel did in the '70s, Son of Satan, Werewolf by Night.

You know, Tomb of Dracula, and then Creepy and Eerie and Heavy Metal.

And he really, he really, uh, uh, helps us achieve that.
