I actually never read this comic book, but man, do I love the concept. Marvel Comics' The Son of Satan first appeared in shadow in
Ghost Rider #1 (Sept., 1973) and was fully revealed to the world in
Marvel Spotlight #12 (Oct., 1973). Daimon Hellstrom, the sire of the devil, born with a big ol’ Pentagram birthmark, grew up and rejected the family business, opting to FIGHT evil instead! Times sadly change, and apparently Daimon's been updated into a character called “Hellstorm,” who’s not the son of THE Satan and now has long hair and wears jeans and a long black trenchcoat (yeesh!!).
I actually won a big lot of
Son of Satan comics on eBay some years ago, but the books mysteriously never arrived at my doorstep....!!! Oooooohhhhhh.....
Here’s the covers to
Marvel Spotlight #13 (Jan., 1973) by John Romita and #18 (Oct., 1974) by Gil Kane.
Oh, and Daimon had a sister (
Marvel Premiere #27, Dec., 1975).
Man, the ‘70s were GREAT!!!
