Lucifer is the show that just can't stay dead, having been brought back from the brink twice. But the Devil you know has a lot more lurking in his backstory than you see on his TV show. We're here to break down Lucifer's long and complex history.
Myth-obsessed writer Neil Gaiman took a history of mythic fiction and ran with it in his legendary Sandman series, which maps out a whole cosmos for Dream, its brooding protagonist, to travel. As one of the Endless - immortal anthropomorphic embodiments of concepts like destruction and desire - Dream moves through the world of myths and gods as easily as our own mortal plane. At some point, he ends up in Hell, where readers first encounter Lucifer, ruling over his realm of eternal torment. Date: 2020-11-15
