Spawn #38

by Todd McFarlane & Julia Simmons & Tony Daniel & Kevin Conrad

"Mind Games"
Dedicated To: Marv Wolfman

My name is Frederick Willheim, and I was born in Geneva, Switzerland... Anna. Intelligent. Caring. Beautiful... she did me the honor of becoming my wife... Her health then declined rapidly... I then focused solely on studying neurology, and vowed to save her or die trying.

Learning of my research, the U.S. Army invited me to head up their Cybernetic Simian project.

When the Cy-Gor moved of its own free will... I've had a stroke... I cannot reach her. My Anna... The beast... It hasn't eaten. It will escape... It will want my Anna...

Spawn #21

by Todd McFarlane

"The Hunt" Part 1
Dedicated To: Mike Grell

I don't want your pity... I just don't want you turning out to be like me or the other guys. We look up to you... the boys and I like like having you around. Makes us feel a bit cocky, if you know what I mean. If you can't pick up the pieces, then you ain't any better that us.

The matter of that little fat Clown, the dismantling of that hired gun Overt-Kill, and the invasion of your office by a costumed vigilante. Calling in The Admonisher to deal with the clown was a brilliant move, sir.

...the costumed invader... he's Terence Fitzgerald, an operative for some ultra-covert agency.

Youngblood Strikefile #4 (1994)

by Rob Liefeld, Eric Stephenson, Jeff Matsuda & Danny Miki

Overtkill was one of my greatest creations, as well as being one of my most dramatic failures.

by Rob Liefeld, Eric Stephenson, Chap Yaep, Cedric Nocon & Norm Rapmund with various

So, whaddya think, Al? Are these guys what hi-jacked the space station gonna take over the world, or what?

To summarize the situation in the simplest of terms... we won. The Liberty II is now free of Cybernet influence and the satellite network Giger had sought to control has been restored to its proper working order.

Is it true that Psi-Fire and Brahma are no longer with the team?

Tales of Team Youngblood... "The Coming of Cougar"

Masada in Youngblood Strikefile #6 (1994)

by Tom & Mary Bierbaum, Chris Sprouse, and John Beatty

Midnight. The darkness broils with angry, discordant voices. Voices long dead, but forever living. The souls that possess Deborah Konigsberg and give her the powers of Masada...

How DARE you touch my maiden?

@rolledspine I'm playing fast catch-up with #spawnometer and I'm loving it. These books didn't resonate with me when they we're originally on the shelves but I have mad respect for contribution the Image founders especially @robertliefeld pic.twitter.com/hiTEyBDhZv

Just listened to this in-depth episode about one of my favorites @WhilcePortacio over at the @rolledspine podcast. Lots of his interviews throughout the years spliced together to make a cohesive origin story (cameo by @ScottW_inks) Inspiring https://t.co/jDU9wFm91z pic.twitter.com/tNJLFPNZ64

Oh and one more thing I like about Whilce's Image Comics work is this House Ad by Whilce & Todd on Inks .. I think this was in a issue of Spawn . pic.twitter.com/iNht5xTslz

Tangentially related: “I said look, back in 1991 I was jamming with two guys: Jim Lee on X-Men and Whilce Portacio on Uncanny X-Men. We were the three engines running that office in the early ‘90s when all the launches happened...”https://t.co/ihiWDcPUKe pic.twitter.com/wTgTrtek5P
