Spawn #313

Todd McFarlane's long-running Image series takes a darkly festive turn with this 2020 issue, featuring a hulking, grotesque creature decked out in a ragged Santa hat and fur trim, clutching glowing green Christmas lights with a sinister grin and red glowing eyes. The atmosphere is equal parts holiday dread and raw supernatural menace, with a hazy winter moon looming behind the imposing figure. Carlo Barberi joins McFarlane on this issue, and it's the kind of cover that makes you genuinely curious about what twisted holiday tale waits inside.
