Medieval Spawn

Medieval Spawn was a knight bonded to a Spawn suit in the Middle Ages, one of the many hellspawn soldiers conscripted by the forces of Malebolgia across centuries. He preceded Al Simmons as a Spawn, wielding the necroplasm-powered symbiotic armor in a dark, war-torn era.

Stepping out of the dark heart of Image Comics' early 1990s revolution, Medieval Spawn made a striking entrance in Spawn #9 (1993), bringing the haunted mythology of Todd McFarlane's universe all the way back to the age of armor and shadow. This warrior out of time has shared pages with some of Image's most iconic figures — Al Simmons, Violator, and Medieval Witchblade among them — and carved out a distinct corner of the Spawn mythos that proved compelling enough to anchor dedicated titles like Medieval Spawn & Witchblade. With a 25-year publishing footprint stretching from 1993 to 2018 and a key-issue debut that collectors still seek out, Medieval Spawn is proof that the legacy of the Hellspawn runs deeper and stranger than any single era. For fans who love their cosmic horror with a coat of chainmail, this is a character well worth tracking down.
