Spawn #39

by Todd McFarlane & Greg Capullo

"Noel"
Dedicated To: Phyllis Capullo
Christmas Eve. Harlem, New York. Rows of buildings house people... families. Some extended, some broken. The lucky ones prepare for the evening's festivities.

Footsteps. Lots of them! OH! Maybe... YES! It's them! The little helpers! THAT means... ...SANTA'S HERE!

He forgot us. Maybe I can still catch him. Don't go. You forgot mommy's present.

Megaton #1-4 (1983-1986)

by Gary Carlson & Erik Larsen & Ken Landgraf & Co.

The Robot Wars ended in victory for the machines! Humanity was outlawed and life became a struggle to replace flesh and bone with steel and wire! Those who don't renounce their humanity either become slaves or escape to the war-torn wastes of the old world!

Vanguard #0-6 (1993-1994)

by Gary Carlson & Tomm Coker & Jason Pearson & Joe Madureira & Rick Leonardi & Angel Medina & Andy Smith & Co.

...I've got to stay in shape in case our enemies-- the Tyrrus Combine-- attack our outpost here on Earth!

Berzerker #1-6 (1993-1994)

by Gary Carlson & Angel Medina & Steve Adams & David Noble & Co.

Behold Mechanopolis! Behold the empire! Built laboriously of brick and stone, it rises from the ruins of the old world, to stretch over 700 miles along the Atlantic Seaboard of North America... One hundred years have passed since the humans lost...

Vanguard: Strange Visitors #1-4 (1996-97)

by Gary Carlson & Scot Eaton & Bill Anderson

Your leaders enslaved his people, experimented with their DNA, killed his family and comitted genocide against his race... and you call him the monster?!

Megaton Holiday Special (1993)

by Gary Carlson & Steve Adams

I stopped believing in Santa Claus a long time ago! 'course, I never used to believe in aliens, either!

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.

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.

"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 #9

by Neil Gaiman & Todd McFarlane

"Angela"
Dedicated To: Harvey Kurtzman
Oh, poor little hellspawn. You have been hunted... Now you'll never be a captain in the army of the Malebolgia.

Count Nicholas Cagliostro. At your service, Mr. Simmons.

You did a deal with the devil, huh? You hadn't even stopped to think about which one?

Men call me Angela.

Angela #1-3 (1994)

by Neil Gaiman & Greg Capullo

"Angela"
Dedicated To: Mike Gaiman, Jack Kirby, Susan Alston and the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund
I've been decorated a dozen times in the battle against the forces of the Malebolgia... I've personally destroyed over thirty hellspawn. No one has ever questioned my integrity before. No one who wanted to keep their vital organs intact and inside them...

This is Gabrielle, Director of Terran Affairs, reporting formally to The Metatron via The First Dominion... concerning the missing dimensional lance...

200 years old. Your first case. Bizarre-- I was foolishly expecting a fair trial.

by Alan Moore & Todd McFarlane

"In Heaven"
Dedicated To: Don & Maggie Thompson
i mean, nobody deserves that! not even, say, somebody who did twenty-seven kids and kept the bodies in his ice cream truck. which i didn't. and even if i did, isn't there a constitutional rights issue here? hmmm?

what kind of afterlife is this?

There's ten dead-lands. Like spheres, one inside another.

Now THIS, this place you're gonna like! Some people call is the Eighth Sphere, some call it The Malebolge, but ME... I call it HOME!!

The Savage Dragon: Baptism of Fire (1992)

by Erik Larsen

Chicago, Illinois. Now.

I'm Lieutenant Frank Darling from the Chicago Police Department... You were found in a burning vacant lot. Do you have any idea how you got there? Do you remember anything about your life prior to waking up here? How come you have green skin?

Listen, Dragon. I need your help. We're being slaughtered out there. Super-freaks have stopped us at every turn. Cops are dying, local super-heroes are being put out of commission... You've got power, Dragon-- we need somebody like you on our side.

Cops sent a damn monster to get me.

"Questions," Part 3
Dedicated To: Jerry "The Joker" Robinson
Finally, I remember her name. Wanda Blake. I remember how her grandma had a fit at the wedding, when she found out Wanda wasn't going to take my last name.

Oh, my. Simmons, you poor pathetic fool! Threaten away, you little maggot. It'll do you no good, 'cause you've been locked into a deal I can't lose.

We always wanted children, but something wasn't right. Doctors said it was no use. But it was me!

Graphic Fantasy (1982) #1-2, Megaton (1983) #1-4
I'm The Dragon. The name may sound familiar... I've been playing the part of a super-guy for the last eight years.

...He called himself The Bronze Man. He killed my wife... With Sue gone... I've had to raise our daughter by myself.

Paul? Paul... what is it honey? What's wrong?

...Thinking about how much things have changed since the days when I was head of the S.O.S.

DAMN! Man, I'm going to be glad when Reagan's term is over with! I can't take too much more of this!
