Spawn #Mcfarlane #ComicBooks TODD McFARLANE unleashed his signature creation, SPAWN, in 1992. In doing so, he created the most successful independent comic book in history. Add in collaborations with industry giants ALAN MOORE, FRANK MILLER, TONY DANIEL, and GRANT MORRISON, and SPAWN’s future as a legend was sealed.   Spawn Compendium available on Amazon https://amzn.to/2V3a69t This episode is sponsored by Deadly Grounds Coffee "Its good to get a little Deadly" https://deadlygroundscoffee.com Retro Dorkening Shirts on Amazon! https://tinyurl.com/dorkshirts Published in 1992 written by Todd Mcfarlane Art by Todd Mcfarlane Cover Price $1.95   Al Simmons is a CIA operative who dies in the field and makes a deal with the devil so he can see his wife again. The deal leaves him with gaps in his memory and transforms him the newest unwitting pawn in the centuries-long battle between Heaven and Hell – and both sides have long since stopped playing by their own rules. In addition to the tragic romance and epic religious plot threads, Spawn also squared off against street-level dirtbags and gang members, allowing McFarlane to draw more of the gritty version of New York’s streets and alleys from his run on Spider-Man. The early part of this run also included a timer counting down Spawn’s remaining “necroplasmic energy,” offering fans the tantalizing idea that the comic’s run was limited by how much power he used.   Follow our Hosts Rich Davis Former co-host of the clowns of cosplay podcast & Cesar Romero enthusiast https://www.facebook.com/bagelbar https://www.instagram.com/velvetjoker2021/   Leo Pond Owner and Producer of The Dorkening Podcast Network https://www.facebook.com/leopond https://www.instagram.com/leo.pond/   Drew Mollo https://www.facebook.com/drew.mollo/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/drew-mollo https://screenrant.com/author/drew-mollo https://www.instagram.com/ghostbusterman1984   Produced by: The Dorkening Podcast Network https://TheDorkening.com Facebook.com/TheDorkening Youtube.com/TheDorkening Twitter.com/TheDorkening Instagram.com/TheDorkening Send us your feedback online: https://pinecast.com/feedback/splash-pages-the-comic-book-cl/01f353c6-4263-4f1c-8b86-13affbcddfaa This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
