Twitch

Detective Sam Burke's sharp-shooting partner at the NYPD, Twitch Williams is an unassuming but brilliant investigator whose cases bring him into contact with the supernatural world surrounding Spawn.

Few detective characters in the Image Universe have proven as quietly indispensable as Twitch, who stepped onto the scene in the landmark Spawn #1 back in 1992 — a debut so significant it's earned key-issue recognition among collectors. Over more than three decades, this sharp, methodical figure has woven himself through the fabric of Image Comics, sharing pages with Spawn himself, Al Simmons, and the ever-reliable Sam Burke, with whom he anchors the dedicated Case Files: Sam & Twitch series. That long-running partnership with Sam Burke is the heart of Twitch's appeal — a grounded, street-level presence amid the supernatural chaos that defines the Spawn universe. With 47 catalog appearances spanning 1992 to 2025 and three key issues to his name, Twitch is the kind of character serious collectors and devoted readers alike have been quietly championing for over thirty years.
