SPAWN #314 WILL SHOWCASE CAPULLO & MCFARLANE ART PROCESS IN THREE BREATHTAKING VARIANT COVERS
PORTLAND, Ore. 12/21/2020 — Image Comics is pleased to unveil three stunning Spawn #314 covers drawn by Greg Capullo and inked by Image Comics Co-Founder Todd McFarlane, which will showcase the creative process from the raw pencils, to the inks, and finally the colored version. All three of these collectible covers will showcase the three steps in making a comic book cover and each will be available at comic shops in January.

In Spawn #314, fans will see the return of Omega Spawn…! This towering super-villain becomes the driving force towards Spawn assembling his new Super-Team. Medeival Spawn joins the action this issue!

“I think it will be interesting and educational for readers to be able to see all three of the big creative steps that goes into making any cover. In this particular case they’ll be treated to the astonishing penciled artwork by iconic artist Greg Capullo (Batman, Spawn, DC Metals). This is the ‘raw’ cover,” said McFarlane. “Then there will be a black & white, inked version in which I get to ink over Greg’s wonderful work. Then lastly, there will be the usual full colored version of this piece displaying the skillful hand of FCO (famed colorist of many of Capullo’s past projects [Batman, Haunt, DC Metals].)

“If you’re lucky enough to find all three and can put them on your wall it will be a spectacular looking tribute to an important part of making any comic.”

The “raw” pencil cover highlighting Capullo’s art will be a 1:50 incentive cover variant.

Spawn #314 will be available on Wednesday, January 27.

Todd McFarlane Announces New B&W Cover Honoring Chadwick Boseman for Spawn #311

In the initial announcement of the Boseman tribute cover, McFarlane said: “Given the limited amount of minority characters in the comic industry today that are considered major Superheroes, I thought it appropriate for one of those well-known heroes (Spawn) to pay tribute to a man who made a lasting impact on helping shape such a strong superhero of color. Chadwick Boseman is a person who honed his skills and then made a career using them. Then he fought a fight against his own body that showed the true spirit of this man. We should all admire the traits Chadwick shared with us. And the inspiration he gave to millions of children around the globe who got to see a strong, meaningful and proud hero that looked like themselves.”
