Gone! Gone! O Form of Man
Draw a picture for the DCFAC
Of the Demon, Etrigan!
Hi everyone! It’s ETRIGAN week!!!
I’d like this challenge to serve as a big thank you to @stefanie.m for coordinating the One Year Celebration thread from a few weeks back.
I understand that she’s a big fan of Etrigan, but I don’t know all the backstory. Care to share any details of what you like most about the character, Stef?
Etrigan has been portrayed in many styles over DC comics and animation.
He can go from cute to cartoony to spooky and even super-hero-y. Choose your favorite and let’s give Stef all the Etrigan her eyes can handle.
Due Date: Saturday, April 17
I figure we can run these challenges from Saturday to Saturday so any weekend warriors can either get a head start or have last minute time to finish up.

Haha I totally forgot this week was going the be ETRIGAN themed! (idk why autocorrect made that all caps but I approve) I just finished a movie night with my friend and introduced her to justice league dark, and some other favorite ETRIGAN moments! He’s truly the demon of the hour!
Hmm…to do something Mignola-inspired (I know he’s drawn Etrigan before, at least in Doom that Came to Gotham) or a weird and wacky 30’s cartoon Etrigan?
that got magic-fied to Blood by Merlin. I see him more as a hero as my first introduction to Etrigan was the JL series A Knight of Shadow. From then on ive tried to read/find all the bits with the duo, the demon hell is earth is great and Etrigan even makes an appearance in my new favorite squad the secret six.
I’m very excited/honored to see the dcfac take on this character! Ive also attached a few comic pictures as jkoco did for some inspiration.
Omg one of my favorite movies, I really liked the portrayl of Etrigan and Blood. I feel like their bond has developed over the many many years that they actually care for one another as in the end of the movie
Thanks for sharing more pics and your history with the character
My first introduction was the Matt Wagner Demon mini-series from the 80s. I’m not sure if it still holds up, but at the time I thought it was great. It’s not on DCUI yet, but maybe one day.
This came out the same time as Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns.
Heck of a time to be reading monthly comics!
Yes! The Tiny Titans guys (Art Baltazar and Franco) opened up their first comics store ‘Aw Yeah Comics!’ not too far from me in Skokie IL (suburb of Chicago). Art always takes time to draw sketches for kids and my son has acquired a whole stack over the years when we see him at a con or Free Comic Book Day at the store.
The store is really great. Very family friendly with original art on the walls. In fact, the whole neighborhood has Aw Yeah art on fire hydrants, electrical boxes, etc. It’s a fun place to visit.
