Spawn #67

An extreme close-up of Spawn's scarred, weathered face fills the cover of this 1997 Image title, his glowing green eyes locked forward while a large revolver — marked with a cross on the cylinder — is pressed right up against his skull. The tight, confrontational composition by penciler Greg Capullo and inker Todd McFarlane wrings every ounce of tension from the moment, making issue #67 feel genuinely visceral before you've even cracked it open. With "Homeland" as the story's title and the full creative team — including writer McFarlane, artist Capullo, and colorists Brian Haberlin and Dan Kemp — on board, this is a strong entry in one of Image's flagship series.
