Spawn #121

Spawn #121 kicks off "Salvation Road" with a brooding Greg Capullo cover that says everything without a word — the Hellspawn crouches in near-total darkness, his massive red cape billowing dramatically as his glowing green eyes cut through the shadows, chains coiling beneath him and a lone spider lurking in the corner. It's a beautifully atmospheric image that captures the character's eerie, tortured power perfectly. With Brian Holguin and Todd McFarlane co-writing and Angel Medina handling interior art, this 2002 Image title delivers exactly the dark, otherworldly tone Spawn fans love.
