Publication history
[edit]Demi the Demoness first appeared in Demi the Demoness #1 by Revolutionary Comics' Carnal Comics imprint in 1992. After the publisher, Todd Loren was murdered, the series moved to underground comic publisher Rip Off Press from 1993 to 1997, where eight more Demi comics were published, including a trade paperback collection and a choose-your-own-adventure book.
Demi was then published by Revisionary Press, the company that took over the Carnal Comics imprint. Revisionary published six more Demi titles from 1997 to 2000. Demi's ribald adventures were also published in full-color in Oui magazine from 1996 to 1998.
Carnal spun off from Revisionary in 2000 and Demi has been published in more than a dozen more comics by Carnal since then. Demi has also appeared in comics published by Eros Comix, MU Press, Hippy Comix, and several smaller publishing ventures.
In 2024 a successful Kickstarter was launched by Carnal Comics & Discordia Publishing for a 360 page Omnibus collection of Demi series. The art is being enhanced and toned by Demi's creator S.S Crompton.
Demi stories have been translated into Swedish and Italian.[citation needed]
Character biography
[edit]Raised in one of the few "sanctuaries" in Hell, the Rookery was a hidden, safe place to be compared to the more gruesome inner areas of Hell. Demi was raised there, so she never experienced the cruelty that almost all demons possess. Thus her personality is charming and naïve.
After a Demon army attacked the Rookery, Demi escaped and found the pyramid of Kit-Ra, a banished cat goddess. Kit-Ra took Demi in and she has lived there ever since. She regularly uses Kit-Ra's mystical transport mirrors to visit other worlds and times outside of Hell.
In other media
[edit]A Demi the Demoness movie was released on DVD in May 2008. The film was co-written by SS Crompton and Steve Steele, and directed by Steele. The film stars Ellie Idol as Demi, Sinn Sage as Vampirooni, and Audrey Elson as Lyssa the Witch.
