Batman - Spawn: War Devil #[nn]

This 1994 intercompany crossover collects the one-shot Batman/Spawn: War Devil, pitting DC's Dark Knight against Todd McFarlane's hellspawn Al Simmons. Written by Doug Moench and Chuck Dixon with art by Klaus Janson, the story brings Batman and Spawn into conflict over a mysterious artifact, while Commissioner Gordon and Bruce Wayne's civilian identity factor into the supernatural showdown. A key early meeting between the two iconic anti-heroes, it captures the gritty, '90s crossover energy between DC and Image Comics.
