Spawn #45

Spawn #45 delivers one of 1996's most viscerally striking covers, with cover pencils by Greg Capullo and inks by Todd McFarlane combining to showcase a massive, spiked creature erupting forward — its gaping, stud-lined maw dominating the composition as a burst of green-yellow energy tears through its writhing, cape-like form. Thick chains and gnarled tendrils frame the beast, grounding the chaos in Spawn's signature blend of hellish organic menace and raw power. Titled "Warriors," this issue promises exactly the kind of intense confrontation that makes this series so compelling.
