Spawn the Impaler #2

In Spawn the Impaler #2 (1996), writer and artist Mike Grell crafts a haunting tale of ancient dread and forbidden desire, as Abbie finds herself drawn to the enigmatic Drake—though his heart remains closed. Flashing back to Wallachia in 1492, the story reveals Vlad Dracul’s terrifying return from the grave, his power so feared that church leaders and his enemies join forces to entomb him once more. The cover by Mike Grell captures the grim intensity of the moment, while Grell, Rob Prior, and Matthew Baker deliver a layered, atmospheric interior with bold inks and vivid colors.
