''Hellstorm: Prince of Lies'' is a 1993 comic book series from Creator/MarvelComics.
Set in the shared Franchise/MarvelUniverse, it stars Daimon Hellstrom, the so-called "Son of Satan". Inheriting his father's powers, Daimon chooses his own path, but often helps to protect Earth from occult threats.
----
!!''Hellstorm: Prince of Lies'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* CookedToDeath: When released to torment Jack Wintergarden, Inanna's bailiff recreates the Greek "brazen bull", a hollow statue within which prisoners were roasted to death. Carefully tuned pipes make music of their screams. When Jack asks who's burning, the bailiff tells him his daughters are inside.
* CutShort: Writer Creator/WarrenEllis had already written the final issue when informed that the series would be cancelled. It was very hastily rewritten, but there are still unresolved plot elements.
* SpeechBubbles:
** Zahgurim, armorer to Satan, has his dialogue written in italics, in a slightly larger font size that other characters. His speech bubbles get thick blue-black borders with teeth on the outside, a little like clockwork cogs.
** Inanna's dialogue uses yellow text on a black background. Her speech bubbles are raggedly shaped, with a double yellow border.
