“I’m anti-dragon!!”
1. Yes, it says “ret” in the first panel. Was that typo fixed in the recent Demon hardcover?
2. This little monkey-fella makes a reappearance in Saga of the Swamp Thing #25, #26 and #27 (1984):
I remember finding out at the time that Kamara (that monkey creature) had appeared in The Demon a decade before, and thinking “boy, there’s no way it can be as creepy as it was in Swamp Thing,” but I was wrong. So very wrong.
GAH.

Kirby = awesome
Demon = awesome
Swamp Thing = awesome
Kamara and this blog = super awesome
Kirby’s supproting casts were always an ecclectic cast such as those in Demon, Black Panther and Project Cadmus, for example.
We’ve come a long way. Dragons have civil rights now, but there are still pockets of anti-dragon sentiment all over the world.
OMFG. I had no idea that Moore was using a Kirby creation here. That’s freaking awesome. Amazing that I never knew that before.
add me to the list. once again, thanks Mike for giving me something to buy. e-bay, ho!
Ditto WizarDru. That is too cool.
there are still pockets of anti-dragon sentiment all over the world.
Its Adam and Eve, not DRAGON and Eve.
EVer seen this, Mike?
