Collection: Blue Devil – DC Comics – (1984–1986) – Volume 1 - #1–32

📘 Series Summary

Mixing Hollywood spectacle with supernatural high-adventure, Blue Devil Volume 1 is one of the most creatively unique titles of the mid-80s DC era. Created by writers Dan Mishkin and Gary Cohn alongside artist Paris Cullins, the series follows Dan Cassidy, a world-class stuntman and special effects wizard. While filming a monster movie on a remote island, Cassidy is attacked by a real demon named Nebiros. In the ensuing magical blast, Cassidy becomes permanently fused into his high-tech, animatronic "Blue Devil" movie suit.

Now a self-described "weirdness magnet," Cassidy finds himself unable to remove the costume and is forced to navigate life as a reluctant superhero. The series is celebrated for its humorous tone and "circuits and sorcery" premise, as Cassidy battles mystical threats with a mix of movie-magic gadgets and legitimate arcane power. Over its 32-issue run (including a special Annual), Blue Devil established a firm place in the DC Universe, featuring frequent guest appearances from characters like Zatanna, The Creeper, and even Superman, while introducing his loyal sidekick, Kid Devil.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

• A landmark "Copper Age" series that successfully blended superhero action with slapstick comedy and horror elements.
• Features the breakout artwork of Paris Cullins, whose creature designs and kinetic layouts defined the character's look.
• Known for its meta-commentary on the comic book industry and the tropes of 1980s action cinema.
• Includes the 1985 Crisis on Infinite Earths tie-ins, showing how Cassidy handled the multiversal collapse.
• Introduced the "House of Weirdness," a recurring mystical location that served as Cassidy's base of operations.
• Essential for fans of Justice League International-style humor and the broader supernatural corner of DC Comics.
