Spawn #25

by Todd McFarlane & Marc Silvestri & Matt Banning & Billy Tan

"Tremors"
Dedicated To: Spirit of Independence

Not Overtkill. Not SPAWN. Not GOD. NOTHING'S going to save Vito!

You people have become LAZY! Always turning to me for help. Well I don't have the answers. I can't solve ALL your problems. I've got a few of my own.

It wasn't long ago that Vito forced me to be his guinea pig... The combination of chemicals, microsurgery, who knows what sort of radiation and anti-rejection drugs transformed me.

by Grant Morrison & Greg Capullo

"Reflections" Part 1
Dedicated To: Max Gaines

Welcome to Simmonsville, Major Vale. Our very own little piece of Hell on Earth.

And if I'm here, what did they bury in Al Simmons' grave?

Rise up! Be Born Again! Soldier of the Light! Anti-Spawn!

Pitt #1-4 & Extra-Image Presents Pitt (1993)

by Dale Keown & Brian Hotton

The lines were drawn. Destruction of Chakra was imminent. Only one had the power to halt their impending onslaught.

I'm scared Grampa. I wish Mom and Dad were here... I don't think things will ever be the same again.

I AM A CREED HYBRID. A WARRIOR.

you are not at war with this planet, PITT. as a matter of fact, we may end up playing an important role in it's salvation.

Spawn #11

by Frank Miller & Todd McFarlane

"Home"
Dedicated To: Gil Kane

White middle class computer geek street gangs. At least it's not a talking aardvark.

A turf war-- and Spawn's home is right in the middle of it.

Sure, this is a smelly, filthy rathole of an alley. But it's my smelly, filthy rathole of an alley.

Supreme #1-6 (1992)

by Rob Liefeld & Brian Murray

"Second Coming"

You! Supreme... HAH!! This worn out carcass couldn't be the Supreme! The legend... who led my people to victory at Maxia... bah! YOU DARE INSULT HIS HONOR!!

Your illustrious career and contributions are of course chronicled in history books...

Sentinel, Glory, Superpatriot... all my old comrades... gone. Once Earth's greatest heroes, they were all ultimately defeated by their own mortality!

Spawn #10

by Dave Sim & Todd McFarlane

"Crossing Over"
Dedicated To: Don Heck

There is a line of men. Their hands are bound behind them. They are hooded. Helpless... Without them Spawn (I... He) could not exist... Beneath their hoods they are weeping.

OUR POWER IS YOURS, SPAWN.

TAKE IT!

Their creators. The ones who sold them. Like Cerebus said. It's best not to think about it.

Infiniti

by Eric Stephenson & Richard Horie

"Awakenings", "Awakenings Part Two", "Strange Interlude" & "Bull Rush"

Trans-dimensional jump successful. I have arrived on Earth... and my readings indicate that these crude attempts at constructing artificial life from existing genetic matrices will suffice our needs.

On Capitol Hill today, Senator Edward Rife continued to push for renewed investigation into the dealings of former CIA Director Jedemiah Hagstrom.

Memory or no memory, I'm here for a reason. And no matter how self-righteous it sounds, it's my duty to protect people. I bet Enigma knew it all along.

Spawn #4 by Todd McFarlane

"Questions," Part 4
Dedicated To: Joe Shuster

Who gave you such powers?! Since when do humans begin to rate? They've always been too fragile for this!

Spawn continues his silence, for what does a man say to an offspring of the pits of Hell?

You have failed miserably! It is incompetents like you that make my battle against GOD so laborious!

Shadowhawk #1-4 (1992) by Jim Valentino

_{Out of the Shadows}

His spinal column snaps like a twig. You are SHADOWHAWK... and you're taking back the night!

God, I love my job! The sweet fragrance of flickering flame! The bloom of the billowing smoke! The screams of the recently domestically displaced! All are like music to the ears of-- ARSON!

I still hunger. I must eat. Please forgive me.
