Questions (part 1 of 4)
Al Simmons rose from the grave five years after his death. The tortured hero made a deal with the devil in order to return to Wanda - his beloved wife. The details of his resurrection are as mysterious as the extent of his newly found powers, which are soon put to the test as he springs into action in order to save a woman from being raped. As Spawn struggles to remember his past, another otherworldly being arrives to terrorize the mob. (91)
