Spawn, Volume 1 (Image Comics, 1992–present)
Created by Todd McFarlane, Spawn is a landmark creator-owned superhero series that helped redefine mainstream comics in the early 1990s. The story follows Al Simmons, a former government assassin betrayed and killed, who makes a desperate pact with Hell and returns to Earth as a Hellspawn—an undead antihero caught between damnation, redemption, and an escalating war between Heaven and Hell.
Blending superhero action with horror, occult mythology, and social commentary, Spawn is known for its gothic tone, violent imagery, and morally complex storytelling. The series continuously expands its mythology, introducing shifting power structures, cosmic stakes, and long-form narrative arcs shaped by McFarlane’s uncompromising creative control.
As one of the longest-running independent comic series in history and a cornerstone of Image Comics, Spawn remains a dark, influential, and ever-evolving saga that continues to push the boundaries of modern comic storytelling.
