Spawn is a fictional comic book character created by Todd McFarlane. Spawn primarily appears in a comic named Spawn, published by Image Comics, with the first appearance in Spawn #1 (May 1992).
The religion-heavy book began with a very superhero-like tone, much like Todd McFarlane's previous work, but Spawn evolved into a more flawed anti-hero. The current book has skewed significantly darker than early issues would suggest. Todd McFarlane attributes this to being a necessary part of development. To introduce the Spawn book to readers it had to be slightly cleaner than he really wished it to be so that it read like a superhero tale. As Spawn the book took off and became more established McFarlane was able to alter the tone closer to his original vision of Spawn..
A CIA agent killed by his own boss for witnessing his corruption, Al Simmons was sent to hell. To see his wife one more time, he made a deal with the demon Malebolgia to become an undead "hellspawn." Spawn has tried to retain his own humanity while finding a way out of Malebolgia's control and battling a variety of enemies, both supernatural and crime-related.
Largely due to the popularity Todd McFarlane accumulated illustrating Marvel Comics' Spider-Man, Spawn became an instant sales sensation and perhaps the most popular comic book character owned by a third company since Marvel and DC dominated the market in the 1960s.
The Spawn 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, an HBO animated series lasting from 1997 until 1999 and a series of Spawn action figures whose unprecedented detail made McFarlane Toys a toy industry giant.
Spawn's popularity has since cooled and creators other than McFarlane have been responsible for the monthly series a source of criticism as Todd McFarlane and others left Marvel in the belief that creators should own and control their own characters. Still Spawn the monthly series continues.
