Spawn #296

Spawn #296 kicks off "History of Spawn Part 1" as part of the celebrated "Road to #300" countdown, and Francesco Mattina delivers a cover that feels genuinely monumental. Against a stormy, rain-soaked sky, Spawn perches atop a massive slab of stone carved with tortured faces, his crimson cape billowing dramatically while heavy chains frame the scene with a sense of dark grandeur. It's a striking visual summation of everything that makes this series compelling — gothic atmosphere, raw power, and a character who has endured through nearly three decades of storytelling.
