Spawn #278

Jason Shawn Alexander's cover for Spawn #278 is a genuinely unsettling piece of work — a huddled, vulnerable figure rendered in cold grey tones sits at the center while an enormous glowing skeleton looms behind, its skeletal hands spreading wide in a posture that's equal parts menace and terrible embrace. The deep crimson background gives the whole image a raw, visceral texture that suits the "Dark Horror" Part 3 banner perfectly. If this arc has been building dread, this cover delivers on that promise in full.
