>>11648555Some of those accessories like the big dumb boot aren't even accurate for that look anyway. He didn't even have some of that stuff until the all black suit.
>>11648590>>11648596McFarlane is a huge liberal, although Spawn/Al's is practically a non-factor in most of the series. Its more McFarlane's soapbox to rattle the cages against the government, and kind of a commentary about the people who get "lost in the cracks" of society. Besides, half the time he treats Al like a hood thug anyway, since he was an assassin/mercenary who gunned down civilians, and there was that one time he gut-punched his pregnant wife, killing their unborn child.
What's more, there was a stretch of about 70 issues where Spawn "died" and Al got replaced with a white guy, and it was considered the worst, most boring run of the entire series.
>>11648608That had nothing to do with it. It was characters that he co-created (like Angela, Medieval Spawn, Cogliostro, etc) with other creators that got him into trouble.
