The 1997–1998 Spawn series from Titan Books collects the early issues of Todd McFarlane's flagship Image Comics title, re-presenting the dark, violent saga of Al Simmons, a hellspawn soldier returned to Earth. This five-issue run is most associated with McFarlane's signature, detailed art style and his collaborative writing, cementing the character as a key figure in the 1990s creator-owned comics boom. It matters as a foundational text for Image Comics, showcasing the publisher's early commitment to creator rights and mature, supernatural storytelling.
