Spawn #8 with Tony McMillen

Writer/artist Tony McMillen (Attaboy) joins us to discuss Spawn #8, Alan Moore’s introduction to the Image Comics fold.

The first in the famous “Guest Writer” run of issues on Todd McFarlane’s signature character, Spawn #8 is an important comic for a number of reasons. We discuss the ways in which Moore enriches Spawn with some quality world-building, study how the writer changed up his scripting style to match McFarlane’s art process and consider that all-too brief moment in the 1990’s when Spawn conquered the world.

Also, here is a link to the Escape magazine article discussed in the episode, written by Moore in 1985: https://www.timemachinego.com/linkmachinego/alan-moore-visits-new-york-in-1984/
