Spawn: The Undead #5

Spawn: The Undead #5 brings a genuinely atmospheric moment to this 1999 Image series, with cover pencils by Dwayne Turner and inks by Chance Wolf delivering a brooding, fire-lit portrait of Spawn crouching low, his massive cape swirling around him as flames rage in the deep orange darkness behind. Those pale, glowing eyes peer out from beneath the hellspawn's signature spiked mask with quiet menace — the restraint of the composition makes it all the more unsettling. Kicking off "The Wind That Shakes the Barley Part 1," this issue promises the kind of moody, character-driven storytelling that made this spinoff stand apart.
