Spawn (novel)

The Spawn novel refers to a series of prose adaptations based on the comic book series Spawn, created by Todd McFarlane. These novels expand upon the Spawn universe, often exploring characters and storylines in greater depth than the comic book format allows. They are not considered strictly canonical, and may present differing interpretations of events and character motivations.

The Spawn novels are generally categorized as dark fantasy, horror, and superhero fiction. They often delve into themes of morality, redemption, the supernatural, and the consequences of power.

Several authors have contributed to the Spawn novel series, each bringing their own style and interpretation to the source material. Popular authors involved include Alan Moore and Steve Niles.

The novels offer an alternative entry point to the Spawn mythology for readers who prefer prose over comics, or for those seeking a more detailed exploration of specific characters and themes within the Spawn universe. They can provide a different perspective on the Spawn storyline and its core elements.

The publishing order and availability of the Spawn novels have varied over time, with some titles going out of print and later being re-released.
