SPAWN! A look back at an award-winning collection of graded slabs. 10 10

To be clear, I saw it at a Hastings in Tennessee. 

So, the copies at Littleton must have made their way into the store's distribution network.

SPAWN 242 - CGC 9.8 

Extremely rare (for Spawn) dialogue bubble on the cover art! You definitely don't see too much of that. I'm actually struggling to remember any other examples off the top of my head! If you can, feel free to remind me! 

Silly how a simple dialogue bubble on the cover gives me the feels! It's like I'm back in the gold and silver eras! I have to say...I love it!

I think Spawn 200 Silvestri Variant had a dialogue bubble...hmmm...

A Cerebus sketch on a Spawn book? In ball-point pen? By the creator himself? 

Yeah. This was my book once upon a time. One of my favorites from the run. I mean, how dope is this? Truly unique. Another one I should have kept. 

 

 

 

This was the only one with a bubble that I could think of.  Maybe some of the variants that I've only seen your copies of...?

An homage cover 20 issues after the original? Come on, Todd. 

Here come the variants folks. A gigantic flood of them that would wear me out and make me quit. 

 

Dialogue balloons on covers... Yes, I remember this one and Spawn 221 (the homage to Amazing Fantasy #15)

Amazing Fantasy 15 homage! 

Issue 220 kicked off a massive series of homage covers. I'm pretty partial to McFarlane's work, and I must say that he really knocked it out of the park with these! I can't think of a single bad homage cover in this little run of the series, and I look forward to sharing them all with you! 

These are all very desirable issues. 

 

There we go!

I believe 220 and 263 have bubbles as well

SPAWN 243 - CGC 9.8 

I'd say this is probably my favorite cover from the Kudranski Era.

Looks like me trying to give my dog medication

SPAWN 244 - CGC 9.8 

You know...this cover really pops as well. 

I don't know for sure, but I'm thinking that Todd probably did the pencils first, and Szymon came in over top with his digital touch. The team is really starting to hit their stride by now.

SPAWN 245 - CGC 9.8 

I forgot that I had not one but TWO books signed by actor John Leguizamo! 

This is hands down the best Clown cover in the series. 

Sadly, John used a dark pen to sign this one. His signature is kind of tough to make out.

Tested positive for Covid yesterday, so I will be taking a (hopefully) short break.
