Spawn #26

Spawn #26 brings together the creative forces of Todd McFarlane and Neil Gaiman for "The Dark," with cover art penciled and inked by McFarlane and Greg Capullo. The cover presents a strikingly contemplative image of Spawn crouched low among mossy roots and still water, his vivid red cape billowing and tattered around him while delicate butterflies drift through the warm, amber air — a haunting contrast between the hellspawn's scarred, otherworldly form and the quiet beauty of the natural world. It's a beautifully composed piece that signals something more atmospheric than your average superhero outing, colored with depth by Steve Oliff and Olyoptics.
