Mike Moran

A creature of the dark and gritty corners of Image Comics' Modern Age, Mike Moran stepped onto the page in Hellspawn #6 in 2001, born from the atmospheric, painterly vision of creator Ashley Wood. His world is a shadowy one — sharing those haunted pages with the likes of Al Simmons, Spawn, John Damascus, and the monstrous Cy-Gor, he's embedded in one of the era's most visually daring and uncompromising corners of the Spawn universe. With only eight catalog appearances across Hellspawn's brief but intense 2001–2003 run, Moran is a rare find — the kind of deep-cut character that rewards readers who dig past the surface into comics' more experimental edges.
