In that you don't have an image for the book, or you never tracked one of these down? There's 4 on the census, so I assumed...

Sorry for the lack of clarity. No scan. Didn't see it on my registry. 

I never tracked it down.

SPAWN: THE DARK AGES 11 - MISSING 

SPAWN: THE DARK AGES 12 - CGC 9.8 

All the mini-series were of secondary importance when it came to my collection. That's why you will see a few gaps here and there. Most of my resources were spent on the main title.

REST OF SERIES - MISSING 

My "Dark Ages" run ends here with issue 17. 

We may do a few random books here and there before beginning the next series. 

Yes...still more to go before we wrap up our look at this mammoth collection.

LES CHRONIQUES DE SPAWN 27 - CGC 9.6 

How 'bout a totally random foreign edition? 

Haunt on the cover. Spawn on the inside. French Language. Oversized.

That's pretty cool, and actually quite unusual. Many -- if not most -- French republications of modern US works are printed in a format called bande desinee, which are, among other things, hardcovers and so not eligible for slabbing.

SPAWN: THE UNDEAD 1 - CGC 9.8 

I didn't collect this series, but here is number one!

Tomorrow, we will take a look at a crossover.

SPAWN/WILDCATS 2 - CGC 9.8

This book oozes "the 90s" from every pore. 

 

[newshane]

SPAWN/WILDCATS 4 - CGC 9.8 

You know you are "on swole" when your biceps are larger than your pecs and quads. 

And where are the traps? 

An absolute disaster of an anatomy lesson here.

CURSE OF SPAWN 1 - CGC 9.8 

I know it seems like I will keep posting a book a day until the end of time, but we are getting close to the end of the entire collection, believe it or not! 

You can see the microchamber peaking out from underneath the front cover...you know...back when CGC used to keep its promises and actually used microchamber in ALL books? Here is PROOF that they used to use the paper in "modern" era books.

I agree! A truly awesome cover that was lost to time...

definitely better looking than over half the "sketch covers" in the regular run. Definitely an example of a black and white cover that looks superior to the color version.

I had forgotten about the Curse Of series.  Love that one!

After the Curse books, we will take a look at one more mini-series before wrapping it up completely. 

In the meantime...

CURSE OF THE SPAWN 4 - CGC 9.8 

Obnoxiously large signature boxes here by the artists. Shame. I think it detracts from an otherwise nice looking cover.
