Iain Covenant

Iain Covenant stepped onto the page in 1999 when Brian Holguin and Liam McCormack-Sharp launched Spawn: The Dark Ages for Image Comics, planting this character firmly in one of the most atmospheric corners of the Spawn universe. A creature of the late Copper/Modern Age, Covenant inhabits a world of shadow and medieval menace, sharing his dark chronicles with the likes of Dark Ages Spawn, Count Alessandro di Cogliostro, and a cast of morally complex figures that give the series its brooding, distinctive texture. With appearances stretching across fourteen years — through Spawn: The Dark Ages, the main Spawn title, and the collected edition — Covenant proved durable enough to outlast many of his contemporaries in the Image landscape. If you're drawn to the grimmer, more gothic reaches of the Spawn mythos, Iain Covenant is exactly the kind of deep-cut character that rewards a dedicated collector's attention.
