SPAWN ’77 #1
TODD McFARLANE × MARK SPEARS

Two of the hottest names in comics are teaming up to revisit the idea that started it all!

In 1977, a young Todd McFarlane first sketched out the character that would eventually become SPAWN. Now, 49 years later, McFarlane is teaming with MARK SPEARS to bring that original concept into the Spawn Universe with a completely new take on the character!

🔥 3-ISSUE MINISERIES PREMIERE
🔥 Todd McFarlane's original Spawn concept reimagined
🔥 Art by Mark Spears
🔥 Covers by Spears, McFarlane, Emma Ríos & more

OPEN-ORDER COVERS:

🟢 Cover A — Mark Spears — $6.99
🟢 Cover B — Mark Spears & Todd McFarlane — $6.99
🟢 Cover C — Todd McFarlane Original 1977 Update — $6.99
🟢 Cover D — Emma Ríos — $6.99
🟢 Cover E — Blank Sketch — $7.99

💥 RATIO INCENTIVES — MARKET PRICE AT RELEASE

🚨 INCENTIVE COLLECTORS — HEADS UP! 🚨

Incentives will be offered in the order they are claimed/pulled. Right now, our open-order pulls aren't high enough to qualify for the incentives — which is exactly why we're sounding the alarm before FOC!
