| PORTLAND, Ore. 12/21/2020 — Image Comics is pleased to unveil three In Spawn #314, fans will see the return of Omega Spawn…! This towering super-villain becomes the driving force towards Spawn assembling his new Super-Team. Medeival Spawn joins the action this issue! “I think it will be interesting and educational for readers to be able to see all three of the big creative steps that goes into making any cover. In this particular case they’ll be treated to the astonishing penciled artwork by iconic artist Greg Capullo (Batman, Spawn, DC Metals). This is the ‘raw’ cover,” said McFarlane. “Then there will be a black & white, inked version in which I get to ink over Greg’s wonderful work. Then lastly, there will be the usual full colored version of this piece displaying the skillful hand of FCO (famed colorist of many of Capullo’s past projects [Batman, Haunt, DC Metals].) “If you’re lucky enough to find all three and can put them on your wall it will be a spectacular looking tribute to an important part of making any comic.” The “raw” pencil cover highlighting Capullo’s art will be a 1:50 incentive cover variant. Spawn #314 will be available on Wednesday, January 27. |
