Lucifer was largely based on the Paradise Lost version of the fallen angel, with some very obvious changes. The character Lucifer Morningstar first appeared in the pages of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen back in 1962, but the modern version of him debuted in Gaiman's Sandman more than twenty years later. Carey spun the character off into a series that ran for more than six years, chronicling Lucifer's story as he abandons Hell to experience more earthly adventures. The TV show will be based on the comic and follow Lucifer as he opens a piano bar in Los Angeles with the aid of his female consort.
