Mego Demon Etrigan

First Look: Mego Demon Etrigan from the Worlds Greatest Superheroes

“Gone! Gone! – the form of man – Rise the demon Etrigan!”  This unlikely hero was created in 1972 as two characters – demonologist Jason Blood forced to share a body with the hell-born Etrigan. Merlin’s servant since the days of Camelot, Etrigan is a member of the Justice League Dark magical circle, fighting demons and extradimensional foes.

Created by Jack Kirby, the Demon was a different type of comic book. Part horror, part superhero – Etrigan was an anti-hero before the term became popular. Even after his series ended, Etrigan kept popping up in other comics – teaming up with Batman, Wonder Woman, Swamp Thing, and other superheroes.

Mego Corp. continues to expand their 50th Anniversary World’s Greatest Superheroes collection with this sometimes hero.

  Sculpted by Tyler Hamm. 

Costume by Brian Leitner.
