Spawn #27

Spawn #27 brings a visceral, haunting cover from Todd McFarlane and Greg Capullo, depicting the hellspawn hero crouched low amid splintered debris, his tattered brown cape splayed around him while his chain coils nearby — all bathed against a stark black void. The centrepiece is a burst of lurid green energy erupting from what Spawn clutches, spattering upward in a wild, toxic cascade that dominates the composition. Titled "Cursed," this January 1995 issue from Image promises exactly the kind of dark, supernatural tension that the series does so well.
