Spawn-Batman

In 1994, Image Comics released this one-shot crossover that brought together two of the era's most iconic antiheroes: Todd McFarlane's Spawn and DC's Batman. Written by Frank Miller and drawn by McFarlane, the issue pitted the dark knight against the hellspawn in a gritty, rain-soaked confrontation that became a landmark meeting of creator-owned and corporate comics. Its enduring appeal lies in the clash of Miller's noir sensibilities with McFarlane's hyper-detailed, monstrous art style, capturing a moment when the industry's biggest talents crossed publisher lines.
