Ipsissimus

A creature of shadow and menace born from one of comics' most tantalizing crossover events, Ipsissimus made their mark in the 1996 Image series Spawn / WildC.A.T.s, conjured by the singular imagination of Alan Moore alongside artist Scott Clark. Sharing the page with heavyweights like Grifter, Zealot, and Spartan, this villain-tinged presence commands attention in rarefied company. Rare in the catalog with only three appearances, Ipsissimus is the kind of deep-cut Modern Age figure that rewards the dedicated hunter — a testament to the rich, strange corners that creator-owned comics carved out in the mid-nineties.
