Spawn: The Undead #2

Spawn looms from the darkness on this striking 1999 Image cover — his glowing eyes and billowing red cape framed by crumbling stone walls, while heavy chains sprawl across the foreground in a tangle that feels both restraining and ominous. The composition by cover artists Dwayne Turner and Chance Wolf does a fine job of building dread around "The Door to Nowhere," suggesting a story where confinement and the supernatural collide. With Paul Jenkins writing and Turner on interior art, this second installment of Spawn: The Undead promises a darker, more atmospheric take on Hell's reluctant champion.
