Spawn

Betrayed and murdered by the very people he served, government assassin Al Simmons makes a deal with the devil for one more chance to see his wife, Wanda. He returns five years later – as a Hellspawn, a soldier of Hell's army with a scarred body, a living cape and a limited supply of power that counts down with every use. Created by Todd McFarlane and launched by Image Comics in 1992, Spawn redefined what an independent comic could be. Its debut issue sold well over a million copies, and the series went on to become the longest-running creator-owned comic in American history. Dark, violent and unapologetically gothic, Spawn is a story of loss, revenge and redemption set between the back alleys of New York and the battle between Heaven and Hell.
