One of the coolest Spawn legacies is how McFarlane pulls in some of the biggest names in comics to write issues of Spawn during the book’s early days, including Alan Moore ( Spawn #8), Neil Gaiman ( Spawn #9), Frank Miller ( Spawn #11), Dave Sim (Spawn #10), and Grant Morrison ( Spawn #16 to #18). Spawn began as the best looking Image series, even as McFarlane’s storytelling tendencies failed to measure up to his design and action mastery. Spawn marked McFarlane’s flagship comic launch after leaving Marvel Comics and co-founding Image Comics in 1992, and the franchise has been incredibly successful, if wildly variant in quality. Sure, Al Simmons is “What if Venom but… Chains?” and I’m here to confirm it works. Absolutely nobody oozes 1990s cool like Spawn and the artistic vision of Todd McFarlane.
