Todd McFarlane announces a limited run of blank sketch covers on all four of his monthly comic titles in honor of the 30th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of\u00a0Spawn<\/em>\u00a0and Image Comics. In the months of April and May only, Todd McFarlane will debut blank sketch covers for the first time on three of the newest titles,\u00a0King Spawn<\/em>,\u00a0The Scorched<\/em>, and\u00a0Gunslinger Spawn<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Todd McFarlane Productions will not only release a blank sketch cover on the three newest titles, but the regular\u00a0Spawn<\/em>\u00a0monthly comic will also feature a blank sketch cover, which he hasn\u2019t done since the record-breaking\u00a0Spawn 300<\/em>\u00a0in 2019. To commemorate\u00a0Spawn\u00a0<\/em>#1 being released thirty years ago, McFarlane will also release a special blank sketch cover of\u00a0Spawn<\/em>\u2019s inaugural issue. All the above covers will only include logos and pricing.<\/p>\n

Before this year, Todd McFarlane has rarely offered these types of covers on the regular\u00a0Spawn<\/em>\u00a0monthly book over the past 30 years. In addition to the traditional white blank sketch cover, McFarlane will release for the first time a black blank sketch cover for each of the four monthly titles too.<\/p>\n

This will be the only time in 2022 retailers will be able to purchase these blank sketch covers (black or white versions).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will be the first time that anyone will be able to get their hands on blank sketch covers of my three new titles (King Spawn<\/em>,\u00a0Gunslinger Spawn<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0The Scorched<\/em>). Since the pandemic has been interfering with so many comic conventions across the globe, I wanted to get some of these books into the marketplace for customers who enjoy using these covers to get their favorite artists to do work on them when conventions are back to more regular schedules\u2026 or they can send them through the mail for commission work too.\u00a0It is also a wonderful way to continue celebrating the 30th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of both the very first\u00a0Spawn<\/em>\u00a0comic and the formation of Image Comics itself,\u201d said McFarlane.<\/p>\n
