The Story

In 1977, a young artist had his first ideas for a character he would name Spawn. That man was Todd McFarlane. Now, nearly fifty years later, McFarlane brings a vision of that original idea to the Spawn Universe in collaboration with acclaimed artist Mark Spears — a completely new and exciting take on the fan-favorite character, marking the first official comic book appearance of McFarlane's earliest Spawn design.

Why Collectors Want This Cover

This cover pairs Spears' pencils directly with Todd McFarlane's own inks, a rare combination that ties the two co-creators' hands together on a single image. It's one of the most personal collector pulls of the launch, connecting McFarlane's original teenage concept work to the finished comic 49 years later.

Common Questions

Do I need to have read other Spawn Universe titles first? No — this tells a self-contained story built around McFarlane's original character concept.

How is this different from Cover A? Cover A is Spears' solo art; this cover adds Todd McFarlane's own inks over Spears' pencils.
