Matthew Llanso

Born into the dark, sprawling mythology of Image Comics' Curse of the Spawn, Matthew Llanso made his debut in the very first issue of that 1996 series, conjured by writer Alan McElroy and artist Dwayne Turner at the height of the Modern Age's appetite for brooding, shadow-drenched storytelling. His story unfolds alongside a striking cast — Abaddon, Bune, Future Spawn, and others bearing the Llanso name — suggesting a world where family and the infernal are deeply, uncomfortably intertwined. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Matthew is a figure for the dedicated Spawn universe explorer, the kind of character who rewards readers willing to dig into the rich, often overlooked corners of Image's flagship horror-adjacent mythology.
