SUMMARY :
Todd McFarlane returns to Spawn as Writer and Cover Artist! Celebrate SPAWN’s 20th Anniversary with this special landmark release. Jim Downing has long been a man lost – confused by his missing past, hounded at every turn and manipulated by forces beyond his control. No longer. With his past finally coming into focus and a full understanding of the man he once was just out of reach, Jim embraces the full might of his horrific hell-born powers to piece together a mystery that has ties to the very core of the Spawn universe. Old enemies will return. New dangers will emerge. And events woven within the complex fabric of Spawn’s rich mythology will begin to coalesce. What happens from this point forward has been 20 YEARS IN THE MAKING!

PREVIOUSLY IN SPAWN:
A new soul has taken up the mantle of the Hellspawn. Following the death of Al Simmons, coma patient, Jim Downing, awoke into a world and life he didn’t recognize, possessed of a power beyond comprehension.
Aided by Sara, the passionate and deeply-spiritual nurse whose faith has been fractured by their connection, Marc, a young, ambitious reporter- turned-manager with an eye for detail and the goal of taking Jim’s “story” global, and Clown, the demonic nemesis of Al Simmons who now serves as mentor and ally, Jim must uncover his past to unlock his full potential.
The unique mixture of Hell born and Heavenly powers at Jim’s command has made him a target of enemies both old and new, culminating in an epic showdown with Malebolgia, former Lord of the 8th Circle of Hell. The aftermath of their battle leveled the maze-like alleyways known as “Rat City” and brought forth new revelations. The ramifications of these events, and the truths revealed, are far reaching and tie directly to Jim’s quest to uncover his past. A quest that begins … now…

Wanda Kolomyjec:Todd McFarlaneの奥さん。Al Simmonsの妻であるWanda Blakeが結婚しても旧姓を名乗っていたのはWanda Kolomyjecがそうしていたことに起因しているのだと思います。

	Jim Downing – A man whose past is shrouded in mystery, and connected intimately to the very fabric of the Spawn mythos, Jim is the world’s newest Hellspawn…and so much more. Having spent years in a deep coma, Jim’s main drive is piecing together the fragments of the man he was, in an effort to discover the man he truly is.
	The Program – A clandestine military operation with deep-rooted ties to events from throughout Spawn’s 20-year existence. Hidden within the secrets of The Program, also known as Project: RAGNOROK, lies the truth Jim seeks, and the dark heart of a past better left buried.
	Sara Johnston – When Jim woke from his coma (issue #185), Sara was the first person to greet him on the other side of the darkness. A woman of strong faith, Sara’s con- nection to Jim will test her in ways she could never imagine.

SPAWN #200のお祭りが2011年1月で1年半経った2012年6月に20周年記念の祭り。金銭的になんとかなったので全部集めました。この頃のお祭りはそれ以降のSPAWN #250, #300に比べれは可愛いものでした。SPAWN #350では少し落ち着きを見せたと思ったら、bLiSTER Comicsさんから「SPAWN #350 cvr G: One Per Store Retailer Appreciation Variant Coverを買いませんか?」のお誘いが… 大金50,000円にて購入しました。
