Spawn #281

Part six of "Dark Horror" arrives with one of the most unsettling covers of 2018 — Jason Shawn Alexander's painterly image of a dark-winged figure leaning forward, cradling a severed head against a stark blood-red field, radiates a quiet, menacing dread. The loose, expressive brushwork gives the scene an almost visceral texture, blurring the line between fine art and horror. With Todd McFarlane, Darragh Savage, and Alexander all on board, this arc continues to push Spawn into genuinely atmospheric territory.
