Curse of the Spawn #28

The cover of Curse of the Spawn #28 announces "Return of Suture, Part II" with unsettling intensity — a close-up of a decayed, grey-haired face split by a blood-red, perforated blade that cleaves through the composition, revealing a grotesque, screaming visage beneath, with a single piercing blue eye staring out from the corrupted flesh. Cover pencils by Dwayne Turner and inks by Chance Wolf make this 1999 Image release a genuinely striking piece of horror craft. Writer Alan McElroy and artist Clayton Crain bring the story "Bleed" to life inside, promising the dark atmosphere this cover so vividly sets up.
