On sale Sep 08, 2026 | 112 Pages | 9781506752570

A graphic novel from Kristen Gudsnuk, creator of the critically acclaimed Henchgirl!

Touched by a Demon is like Touched by an Angel if it were a very dark comedy where instead of inspirational stories about helping people in need, it’s about ruining people’s lives—albeit with the best of intentions.


Dissatisfied with tormenting souls in Hell and longing for the halcyon days when he lived in Heaven, a low-level demon named Bifrons attempts to earn redemption by opening a life coach agency in the mortal realm. With the aid of his assistant Zuzu and a damned soul by the name of Elaine, Bifrons is determined to help humans save their souls in the hopes that maybe with enough good deeds, God in his heavenly mercy will give him a second chance…but can an entity of evil really change its nature?

Collects Touched by a Demon #1-#4 .
