Spawn WAS the most popular comics character of the mid-late 1990s, peaking with the Spawn movie and then dropping off the public radar. This graphic novels collects Spawn issues in the 20s, when he was scortching hot. The thing I didn't like about Spawn, keeping me from actually reading until now was the obvious racism to the main character, especially in the first issue. On the other hand, if Spawn WAS NOT a black guy, his costume would just scream white supremacist much the same as DC's Steel character. So, to keep it from being completely racist, ...they made one of the biggest comic heroes of all time a black guy?!!! See also the racist inclinations of Superman, the name with a white character. Anyhow, Spawn has his achilles' heel that some characters are just as good or even more powerful than him. He certainly would be no match against someone truly godlike like Galactus, or would he? With weak villains in the Spawn mythos like the Violator, Spawn was never really tested, just government cover up, Vertigo like storylines.

If you've just started to collect Spawn comics, this book is a great key on the Spawn saga. And if you're already an Spawn reader, you can't miss this Volume 8 for your personal collection. A must have for REAL Spawn fans!
