Spawn #4

Todd McFarlane's cover for Spawn #4 (September 1992) makes an immediate, visceral impression: a massive, drooling creature fills nearly the entire frame, its glowing orange eyes burning with menace and rows of jagged, saliva-drenched teeth parting wide — while a small, watchful Spawn lurks in the upper corner, cape billowing, looking almost dwarfed by the threat before him. It's a striking compositional choice that conveys scale and dread without a single word. Part four of "Questions," colored by Steve Oliff, Reuben Rude, and Olyoptics, this issue shows the young Image series already swinging for the fences in 1992.
