Morgan says. At times I forgot I was reading a Marvel title. This read more like early Vertigo stuff. A good example of a comic book really pushing it to get rid of the Comics Code or Authority. Some material was supersizing it made pass thecensors. You can tell the editors were more lenient then they would be today. While the main character was a practicing priest and a Christian, he was the Son of Satan. This comic book is neither pro nor anti Christian, but I have afeeling Christians don't care for this book. There are some questionable scenes like Hellstorm has a vision of his mother dressed as the Virgin Mary embracing a passionate kiss with Satan, clearly in there for shock value. I fell liketoday Marvel wouldn't publish this stuff. I see they are making a show of this for Hulu, I bet it's going to be watered down because Disney owns Marvel now. One thing I got confused with is Marvel's idea of Satan. He has several forms, yet this title and others make it seem like they are different and the same at the same time. Overall, I really liked this book. Worth checking out if youwant to read Marvel 70s and something that the Comics Code of Authority went after, the title series was cancelled do to subject matter and the title. Zack! Empire says. Michael Jandrok says. “He is Daimon Hellstrom - spawn of the devil, born of woman - man of God, heir to Hell - and his two natures are ever at war! For though he carries Satan’s mark on his chest, his is sworn to drive his Father’s minions from the world ofmen. Exorcist, psychic, demonologist, wielder of the SOULFIRE - he is all of these, but within him lurks a second self, a savage, Satanic side he must constantly fight to control. lest he lose his human heritage forever!” - from theheader plate on the splash pages of the Son of Satan comics. Stan Lee presents…..The Son of Satan. I was a rather precocious reader when I was young, and by the time time I was 8 or 9 years old I had pretty much caught the comic book bug, despite my parents doing their best to dissuade me from this path. DC and Marvel were thebiggest players on the block back then, much like today, and both of these behemoths were leaving the Silver Age behind and searching for new titles to attract a new generation of readers. Comic books have always been about catching trends and running with them. And so it was that both DC and Marvel were taking chances on some really edgy material for the time. Occultism had made a big comeback in the late 1960s andearly 1970s, with interest in esoteric subjects hitting new heights. Anything was game. UFOs, The Bermuda Triangle, spirituality, Wicca, and other such subjects seemed to provide an endless well of fascination for American audiencesacross the lines of all popular media. The big kahuna in all of this infatuation with the weird was Satanism, freshly remodeled and retooled for the New Age by a former carnival performer named Anton LaVey. While LaVey and his Churchof Satan were getting mainstream coverage in places like Playboy and Penthouse magazines, movies and books were swiftly catching the wave. Rosemary’s Baby was born, and it took The Exorcist to get rid of the little bastard, but by thistime the demon was out of the fire and into the glossy tabloid magazine. And this is where DC and Marvel come in. Pressed with the need to cash in on the occult craze, both houses went into overdrive to bring all sorts of new and creepy characters and titles to the drugstore racks. DC put Jack Kirby to workon a new book called “The Demon,” while Marvel went out to left field and conjured up magazines like “Man-Thing” and “Ghost Rider.” Marvel’s biggest entry into the Satanic sweepstakes, though, was a crazed strip titled “The Son ofSatan.” Making his hellish debut in “Ghost Rider” #1,” man-by-day and demon-by-night exorcist Daimon Hellstrom would crash the party with all of the typical Marvel bombast. Daimon got a shot at his own series starting with “MarvelSpotlight #12.” There he would reside until he got his own book after “Marvel Spotlight #24” wrapped up that particular story arc. Alas, poor Daimon couldn’t keep his sales mojo going and his self-named title was cancelled after a mere8 issues. The character lived on, of course, as a member of The Defenders superteam, and later as a revised vision of the original renamed as Daimon Hellstorm. What’s surprising to me is that this strip even got published due to the Comics Code Authority. The CCA was an invention of the comics industry itself, as an alternative to government regulation. It was meant to ensure that all comicbooks adhered to a set set of rules for their characters and stories to follow, though it was primarily concerned with portrayals of sex and violence. You can read more about the CCA in its Wiki article if you are interested in moreinformation about it: “Son of Satan” was truly groundbreaking if for no other reason than it represented the character of Satan in a more or less sympathetic light. The Dark One displayed a definite code of honor and seemed to be happy with his lot as rulerof Hell. He was evil personified, of course, but he was not completely without a set of scruples. The character of Daimon was also played seriously, as he was a man torn between his pure, human side and his demonic, Hellspawnedpersona. This dichotomy is at the very heart of the Christian faith as a part of canonical doctrine, so it’s hardly a surprise to see it in print, but it had never been handled with such philosophical force up until that point incomics history. “Son of Satan” brought all sorts of theological and psychological questions to the fore, and if you think that this was heady stuff for a comic book. well….you’re right. The presentation of the omnibus itself is spot on. The colors are sharp and vibrant, the text virtually unchanged from the original presentation, warts and all. I’ll confess that I’m a sucker for these compilation volumes from thecomics giants, and the attention to detail and overall quality of this book is fantastic. Here’s a quick rundown of what you are getting with this collection: “Ghost Rider 1-2” - This introduces the Daimon Hellstrom character, as he comes to the aid of Johnny Blaze, the Ghost Rider himself. Blaze has been trapped in Hell, and it’s up to the Devil’s scion to get him out of his pickle. You geta bit of a feel for what the Hellstrom character might be like, but his true origins are still shrouded in mystery. “Marvel Spotlight 12-24” - This run includes Daimon’s origin issue as well as his entire residence in "Spotlight." Here is where you get a real understanding of the character, as he morphs from “exorcist-by-day and demon-by-night” intoa fully integrated powerhouse of demented conflict. Daimon moves his base of operation from New England to St. Louis in an attempt to break free from his loneliness and isolation. This is also a foray to get his act more in the game asa professional exorcist and professor of the occult. He even develops a romantic interest of sorts in paranormal researcher Dr. Katherine Reynolds. My favorite part of this run is where Daimon’s chest tattoo of a pentagram changes froman “upright” star position to the supposedly diabolical “inverted” state. This is in conjunction with the melding of his two states of consciousness into a cohesive condition. These revisions made for a more compelling and believablecharacter. No longer bound to a day/night transformation, Daimon could now bring his darker side to the fore with a mere hand gesture. POOF!! The “Son of Satan” would appear in all of his demonic glory, bare- chested and virile anddressed to the nines in superhero spandex and a flowing cape. That mere mortals seemed to take all of this in stride was a continual part of the charm of the entire exercise. “Marvel Team-Up #32” - Daimon guest stars with The Human Torch in a mostly forgettable adventure in Arizona. This seemed to be the beginnings of taking the Hellstrom character out of the world of the strictly occult and into a moretraditional superhero sort of role. That transition would prove to be the ultimate failure of the first runs of the “Son of Satan.” “Marvel Two-In-One #14” - Another team-up, this time with the ever-lovin’, blue-eyed Thing Himself, Ben Grimm. Ghostly doings in an abandoned ghost town in Arizona pull the Thing and Daimon together to fight one of Daimon’s old demonicfoes. Better than the Human Torch mash-up but still not up to par with the rest of Daimon’s adventures. “Son of Satan 1-8” - Daimon’s run in “Marvel Spotlight” earned him a shot at his own title, but it would prove to be short-lived at a mere 8 issues. Part of the problem was the schizophrenic approach to the whole character. Marvelapparently couldn’t decide whether or not to maintain Hellstrom as an occult character or bring him more into the realm of a traditional superhero fighting off other costumed bad guys. The end result is that the book couldn’t maintainits sales momentum and the whole thing just got more or less abandoned. Daimon would continue on as a Marvel character, but it would be years before he regained his own title again in a VERY revised format that ignored most of theorigin story and canon of the first runs of the character. The last couple of issues are just a complete psychedelic freak out that must have alienated a lot of the core audience. I personally loved that finishing story arc, but it wasalso obvious that the series had pretty much run out of gas and had already said everything that it needed to say by that point. A quick note on the art. All of the artists that work on the “Son of Satan” did credible jobs and kept a very strong sense of continuity in the Daimon Hellstrom look and feel, but a couple of artists did standout work and I think it’sgood to recognize those runs. Gene Colon took the iconic “Satanic” look to new heights for a two-issue stretch in “Marvel Spotlight,” and Jim Mooney and Sonny Trinidad did the same for Daimon’s swan- song run in the “Son of Satan”8-issue run. There is some really spectacular art to be found in these pages, and it’s great fun to dwell on the backgrounds and attention to detail that was put into the strips. “Son of Satan Classic” was a fantastic trip down memory lane for me. I loved this comic book as a kid and I treasure it even more now as an adult. It is a reminder at just how wild and unhinged the early ‘70s were for comic books ingeneral, a seminal moment in time that set the stage for the independents and the eventual dissolution of the Comics Code Authority. It’s probably too much of a niche title to attract legions of fans, but the “Son of Satan” stillstands the test of time and reads as fresh and interesting today as it did back in 1973.
