What was OBarrs inspiration to create The Crow comic?
At the age of 18, a drunk driver killed O’Barr’s fiancee. Shortly afterwards, O’Barr started work on The Crow as a way to work through his anger and sorrow over the death of his fiancee (this was early 1980/81). O’Barr spent the 80’s doing odd jobs and working on the comic until it was discovered and published in 1989.
