Spawn

In the late 1990s, Semic brought Todd McFarlane’s dark, antihero saga to European readers with a ten-issue run. This series, published from 1996 to 1998, adapts the early storylines of Al Simmons, a former soldier who returns from the dead as a hellspawn, bound to an army of the damned. While staying true to the gritty, supernatural action of the original, this edition stands as a key artifact of the era’s international comic market, showcasing how McFarlane’s iconic creation resonated beyond its American roots. It’s a concise, faithful snapshot of a pivotal moment in ’90s comics.
