In case you hadn’t heard, Fox is premiering a new show
entitled Lucifer, allegedly based on
the Vertigo comics of the same name.
I say “allegedly” because by all evidence Lucifer the show is about Satan coming to Earth so that he can help
the police solve mysteries whereas Lucifer
the comic was an exploration of mysticism, cosmology, faith, and identity.
I get that for a lot of folks Vertigo’s
Lucifer was hardly required reading
but it stands tall alongside works such as Hellblazer,
Fables, and Neil Gaiman’s Sandman
as some of the comics that put Vertigo on the comic book map. Understandably, I’m pretty disappointed
the TV adaptation has settled on the most generic stock plot to fill things
out, however that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the original comics. That’s what I’m here to do today,
bringing you the top 10 Lucifer comic
covers. So, let’s dive into the
shallow end and get the cover story on Lucifer.
