Spawn: The Undead #6

Spawn: The Undead #6 brings a brooding intensity to this 1999 Image Comics series, with cover art by Dwayne Turner inked by Todd McFarlane that presents a hunched, tattered Spawn shrouded in his billowing necroplasmic costume against a deep, shadowy blue backdrop. The figure feels genuinely threatening — clawed hand extended, hollow eyes glowing, the ragged folds of his suit rendered with remarkable detail and weight. Part two of "The Wind That Shakes the Barley," written by Paul Jenkins with interior art by Turner, promises the kind of moody, atmospheric storytelling this series does so well.
