Spawn: The Dark Ages #9

This 1999 Image series continues to push Spawn's mythology into medieval darkness, and issue #9's cover — rendered by Liam McCormack-Sharp — makes a striking impression. The hellspawn figure dominates the frame, its skull-like face glowing with eerie green eyes and fiery light, while thin strings descend from above as if something unseen holds the creature like a puppet. It's an unsettling, atmospheric image that hints at themes of control and supernatural menace heading into the "Child's Crusade" storyline.
