About the series
From 2000 to 2003, Image Comics unleashed Hellspawn, a darker, more horror-driven spin on the Spawn mythos that ran for sixteen issues. Writers Steve Niles and Brian Michael Bendis, alongside artists Ashley Wood and Ben Templesmith, stripped the series down to its psychological and supernatural core, focusing on Al Simmons’s tortured existence. With a moody, expressionistic visual style and a cast including Mike Moran, Eden, John Damascus, and Hel, this series matters for redefining the Spawn universe as a visceral nightmare rather than a superhero saga.
