Spawn is a fictional character, an anti-hero that appears in a monthly comic book of the same name published by Image Comics as well as annual compilations, mini-series specials written by guest authors and artists and numerous cross-over story-lines in other comic books. Created by writer/artist Todd McFarlane, the character first appeared in Spawn #1 (May 1992). Spawn was ranked 60th on Wizard magazine's list of the Top 200 Comic Book Characters of All Time, 50th on Empire magazine's list of The 50 Greatest Comic Book Characters and 36th on IGN's 2011 Top 100 Comic Book Heroes.
The series has spun off several other comics, including Angela, Curse of the Spawn, Sam & Twitch, and the Japanese manga Shadows of Spawn. Spawn was adapted into a 1997 feature film and portrayed by Michael Jai White, an HBO animated series lasting from 1997 until 1999, and a series of action figures whose high level of detail made McFarlane Toys known in the toy industry.
The main character of the series, Al Simmons, is a tortured man who is murdered and then resurrected as a Hellspawn - a soldier for the devil. The title followed the Spawn's struggle to reconnect with his widow and young child, while also serving as a protector to the people of the boweries of New York. Recurring characters featured throughout the series include Wanda Blake, Al's widow; Terry Fitzgerald, his best friend; Cyan, his daughter; Jason Wynn, the government agent who secretly had Simmons murdered; Malebolgia, Image Comics' counterpart to Satan; the Violator, a demonic antagonist who often assumes the form of a clown; Cogliostro, an elderly immortal who aides Spawn in his quest for justice; and Angela, an angel who specializes in killing Hellspawn.
