Spawn #56

In "Au bord des ténèbres," the murder of the mayor’s niece plunges Sam and Twitch into a dark mystery tied to a witch hunter, with help from a mysterious sorcerer leading them to a hidden apartment. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and Sophie Viévard, with art by Alberto Ponticelli and inks by Jonathan Glapion, this 2000 issue blends supernatural intrigue with the gritty investigative style of the series, all rendered in striking colors by Todd Broeker, Jay Fotos, and Drew Hutchinson. The cover by Greg Capullo and Danny Miki captures the tension with a haunting, atmospheric image.
