Diablo is today's Kirby Monster and he was a bit of a pushover as monsters go. Nonetheless, he is intimidating and the fact that he's a black smoke monster made me think "LOST". He's so vague he's kind of fun to draw. Above, I kind of reinterpret the cover of TALES OF SUSPENSE #9 as you'll see below. Started as a simple pencil sketch, but finished up in Photoshop.
TALES OF SUSPENSE #9--Diablo left his home Dimension promising his people that when he returned, he would hve a new world for them to conquer. For hundreds of years, he journeyed through space until he came to Earth and landed in Mexico. There he stayed for a very long period of time gathering strength from the elements and observing the human race. Aztecs became aware of Diablo and believed him to be a demon.
Stories of this “smoke demon” reached an adventurer who went on a search for the creature. After finding it and hearing it’s talk of world conquest, the adventurer was able to scare Diablo away from the Earth by simply blowing away the smoke from the flame of his cigarette lighter.
As revealled in the MONSTER HUNTER FILES, the unnamed adventurer was retconned to be none other than ULYSSES BLOODSTONE!
