Keene

Stepping out of the shadows of Image Comics' darker corners, Keene made their debut in 1998's Curse of the Spawn #17, brought to life by writer Alan McElroy and artist Dwayne Turner during comics' gritty Modern Age. This is a character who keeps genuinely dangerous company — sharing pages with the likes of Tony Twist, Vincent D'Egallo, and the brooding figure known as The Curse, which tells you everything about the menacing world Keene inhabits. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Keene is one of those intriguing figures tucked into the margins of Spawn's sprawling universe — a rare find for collectors who love digging into the rich, underexplored corners of Image's late-'90s horror-tinged mythology.
