Spawn #39

The December 1995 cover of Spawn #39 sets a chilling holiday tone — Spawn looms large in his massive, spike-studded crimson cape and chains, his glowing green eyes burning beneath white fur trim that gives the hellspawn a grotesque Santa-like silhouette, while a bloodied, burlap-wrapped figure crumples at his feet in the snow. Greg Capullo's pencils and Todd McFarlane's inks deliver a composition that is both darkly playful and genuinely menacing, perfectly suited to a story titled "Noel." It's a striking cover that captures everything unsettling and compelling about this corner of the Image universe.
