Dæmonen #9
"Ballade i New York" delivers a chilling twist on media manipulation in Dæmonen #9, a 1982 release from Winthers Forlag. Marv Wolfman writes a tense, prescient tale as the Jester orchestrates a fake news broadcast from President Gerald Ford, inciting chaos, then traps DD in a staged trial. John Buscema’s dynamic interiors, with Jim Mooney’s sharp inks and Michele Wolfman’s bold colors, bring the psychological thriller to life, while Rich Buckler and Frank Giacoia’s cover captures the issue’s escalating dread.
