SpawnWorld update #147 |
|
A number of blank-cover Spawn books have hit the market over the last few years. These aren't to be confused with standard, mass release blank cover variants - these books were previously unknown, and seemingly very rare.
I've been able to confirm that the books are intentional variants made by McFarlane (not test-copies), and that they have been primarily used as give-aways to friends and employees by McFarlane. A print-run for the books is not known, but they are exceedingly rare.
The first one from the main series known to exist is #270, although that book differs from most of the others in that its cover is printed on the standard glossy paper stock (whereas the others are printed on a heavy, fibered cardstock). The only issues currently known to exist are #270, #285-316, as well as Medieval Spawn and Witchblade (vol.2) 1-4, and Spawn Kills Everyone Too 1-4.
I already had a few of them listed in the SpawnWorld library, but here now are all of the remaining (known) issues!
Special thanks to Comic Cartel and @petruspawn for most of the photos!
Added the following 35 books to the library:
- Medieval Spawn and Witchblade Vol.2 2 Employee Edition
- Medieval Spawn and Witchblade Vol.2 3 Employee Edition
- Medieval Spawn and Witchblade Vol.2 4 Employee Edition
- Spawn 270 Employee Edition

SpawnWorld Trivia Contest |
|
The time has come to freshen up the Spawn Facts section here on the front page. The facts load up randomly each time you visit, and now's your chance to contribute, with the SpawnWorld trivia contest!
- How to enter: Submit facts and trivia about the Spawn universe, and Spawn collecting. They can be from the stories in the comics, or about the collecting the comics, toys, and other Spawn stuff. Think of fun or interesting things that fellow Spawn fans might not know or might have forgotten.
- Prizes: So what do you get for your submission? Well other than the satisfaction of contributing to the Spawn community and the joy of maybe seeing your fact on the site, you'll also be entered to win one of these fabulous prizes:
- 1st Prize: Spawn #1-10 Dengeki Japanese Editions!
These awesome books are printed on glossy paper, with thick covers, and even dust jackets! Each issue contains multiple US issues, which means this set covers US #1-31:
- 2nd Prize: Spawn: Blood Feud and Violator (Japanese Editions)! These collected editions each contain the entire mini-series, and are similarly printed on glossy paper with thick covers:
- Random Prize #1: Spawn #10 "Gold" Japanese Edition:
- Random Prize #2: Spawn #20 "Silver" Japanese Edition:
- Random Prize #3: Violator (Japanese Edition):
- Trivia Examples: So what makes a good Spawn Fact? Some bit of trivia related to Spawn characters, storylines, toys, etc. that fellow Spawn fans would find interesting. Such as:
"Covenant was once tied to rocks in a cave for 40 years by the angry crew of a merchant vessel on which he had chartered passage."
(Spawn: The Dark Ages #10)
or
"Mammon first appeared in issue 87 but was unnamed in the storyline until issue 139. In the meantime, he became known as 'Mr. Hell' after being listed as such in the synopsis for issue 88."
(Spawn #87, #88, & #139)
An example of a bad fact would be something obvious like:
"Al Simmons was Spawn".
- Rules: So how do you enter? Once you've come up with your amazing Spawn Fact, just place it in an email in this format:
To: contest@spawnworld.com
Subject: trivia contest
Fact: (an interesting fact about something Spawn related)
Source: (e.g., the comic issue in which your fact can be verified)
Your name: (e.g. Al Simmons)
Your mailing address: to which you want your prize sent.
- Fine Print: Entries must be received by 4/23/2020. Only entries judged by SpawnWorld to be relevant and valid will be entered in the drawing. Placed Prizes will be awarded to those entries judged to contain the most interesting facts. "Interesting " is of course subjective, so all judges decisions are final. Random Prizes will be awarded to entries selected randomly from all valid entries. Some entries (but not all) will be used on SpawnWorld in the "Spawn Facts" section. By entering, you agree to let SpawnWorld use your entry on the site. The winner of the drawing will be announced on 4/30/2020. Enter as many times as you like. The more you enter, the better the chances of seeing your facts used on the site, and the better your chances of winning a Random Prize. I make no claims about the grades of the comics, please examine the photos if you're interested. There is obviously no purchase necessary, I don't sell anything.
Thanks and good luck! |

Spawn 300 Poster |
|
In anticipation of the upcoming release of the 300th issue of Spawn, I've put together this poster to celebrate!
It features images of every character, location, etc (basically every unique proper noun ever pictured in a Spawn comic - 1362 to be exact) from the beginning until now. Of course, you can read about almost * any of them in the SpawnWorld Encyclopedia (*there are only about 20 or 30 that do not have entries written yet).
This doesn't include whatever new characters might appear in issue 300, but it does include Spawn 1-299, Spawn Resurrection, Sam and Twitch, Spawn: The Dark Ages, Curse of the Spawn, Angela, Violator, Bloodfeud, and several other mini-series and related comics.
You can download the poster for free below, just right click and choose "Save Link As..." to download:
