Curse of the Spawn #14

The cover of Curse of the Spawn #14 (1997) wastes no time making an impression — Dwayne Turner and Danny Miki deliver a massive, multi-limbed creature that dominates the entire frame, its skull-like face and raking talons emerging from a murky, moonlit forest with genuine menace. Every curve of those grotesque, intertwined limbs feels alive and threatening, rendered with the kind of textured detail that rewards a long look. With Alan McElroy's story "Apocalypse When" waiting inside, this is a mid-series issue that earns its place on any Spawn universe shelf.
