In 1992, one of the most unforgettable characters in comic history was unleashed on an entirely unprepared audience. After that, nothing was ever the same. Todd McFarlane's Spawn was a hero like no other. Al Simmons, a government agent, had been killed by a colleague. After being resurrected in the depths of Hell, he returned to Earth as the Spawn warrior, protecting the homeless in the dark alleys of New York, always searching for traces of his past. Spawn fought against the dark forces that had brought him back to Earth, resisted enemies, and found allies where he least expected them. Gradually, he learned to harness the extraordinary powers he now possessed, while also beginning to understand what he had gotten himself into.
