Oh jesus that is ugly as sin and one of the worst sketch variants of this run.

I liked the color at glance, then took a longer look, but this goes to show how the color drowns out the fine lines

I guess that's what makes a Miller where the lines are a lot of them, but doesn't get lost in blobs of color? Idk

And yet at a glance it all looks good.

SPAWN 225 - CGC 9.8 

An uninspired homage to an uninspired piece of cover art.

SPAWN 225 VARIANT COVER - CGC 9.8 

I wonder how the staff meeting went that month...

"Hey Todd! I have a great idea on how to sucker more money from collectors!"

SPAWN 225 ROMNEY WINS SKETCH COVER - CGC 9.8 

Is there ANY point to this variant at all?

I've gotten a few questions concerning the sketch covers. 

While the covers look perfectly identical, the final page is where you see the difference.

SPAWN 226 - CGC 9.8 

You know, I think 225 is probably my least favorite issue in the entire run, with the possible exception of some of the Erik Larsen issues, which are hot garbage. 

Thankfully, issue 226 is freaking awesome!

SPAWN 227 - CGC 9.9 - MINT 

This is one I definitely regret selling. 

I bought it on eBay in the early days of its release. I never was able to self-sub a 9.9. Maybe one day I'll experience the thrill of that, but I doubt it. 

Gorgeous specimen right here...

SPAWN 227 SKETCH COVER - CGC 9.8 

Not totally black and white, which is why it looks cool to me. Love the red.

SPAWN 228 - CGC 9.8 

I can't believe this book is already over ten years old. Where has time flown?

Looking back, nearly all of these tribute/parody/homage covers were pretty cool and excellent. This one is nice!
