About the series
In 1994, Image Comics unleashed this three-issue miniseries that delved into the dark, chaotic origins of the Violator—the Clown-like demon who torments Spawn. Written by Alan Moore with visceral art by Bart Sears and Greg Capullo, the story pits Al Simmons’ monstrous nemesis against the demonic Alberto, the mobster Antonio Twistelli, and the vigilante known as The Admonisher. A gritty, standalone expansion of the Spawn mythos, it showcases Moore’s twisted take on hellish bureaucracy and Capullo’s iconic, grotesque character design.
