Satana the Devil’s Daughter: A Symbol of Women’s Lib

Satana teaser
Satana, the Devil's Daughter, was conceived by Marvel at the same time as the Son of Satan. In Marvel Spotlight #12 (Hellstrom's first solo story), Daimon says to Johnny Blaze: "…until I gain the final, ultimate revenge-for what he did to my mother and sister!*" Roy Thomas' editorial note follows the asterisk: "*More on the mother next ish! And as for his sultry sister Satana, you can get a fleeting glimpse of her in our current giant-size Vampire Tales #2, now on sale!"

Satana sketch by John Romita
The original model for Satana was developed by Roy Thomas and John Romita. Satana was a succubus, able to steal men's souls with a kiss. She was taught black magic as well, but unlike Daimon, in the beginning she was loyal to Satan. In Marvel Spotlight #13, Satana sacrifices a cat to her father's name, much to the horror of her (human) mother. While Satana never had a strong run of stories, in many ways her debut in Vampire Tales #2 was the most remarkable story of all. It left an impression on me that I'll never forget.

Satana debut: walking alone at night
It was a four page story by Thomas and Romita. Romita's artwork was stunning in black and white. It starts off wordlessly, with a classic Romita girl-with his Romance background-walking through the deserted streets of New York City at night. She looks apprehensive, afraid-then looks back at the sound of footsteps following her.
