"Spawn Ad!" In a Limited and Numbered Edition of Rust #1. McFarlane was sure to get the word out on his impending Spawn book and series in the 90's. He was pioneering a company and had a now classic cover of the 1st issue of Spawn, which is the illustration in the ad of Rust #1 as well! Manufactured with ""No. 1943"" printed on back cover. Oh YA! That Limited Edition. Keep them coming. Almost found this at the used bookstore, although it didn't seem in the best of shape. Sometimes you take what you can get, just don't give up on the rest. There are times when you spy deals but can't be too greedy. I got this off of Ebay for $27 shipped, actual auction win was like $23, but then there is tax and shipping to $27. An awesome spy of deal for what it is, it is a book that has promise. Spawn has some dealings that came from many a publication for word of mouth, it turned out to be worth it.
Complete with a back cover picture of what the true "90's 'Image' art" looked like! In poster gun cannon form, and complete with veins, steroids, and some kind of angst. It could take a kid from 60 to 90 miles per hour with some aggressive speed!
Grader Notes;
Left Bottom Back Cover Heavy Scuff.

1st appearance of Spawn (Al Simmons). Pitt pin-up by Dale Keown & Spawn pin-up by George Perez. Pull-out Spawn poster. George Perez with a nice little action pin-up! Woo-hoo! Spawn the under dwelling heel so to speak. Not going to do your dirty work no more! It comes down to Todd McFarlane and his creation with over a million copies distributed, I'm sure, and most sold. To the fans of the 90's it doesn't get more cliché than old Spawn. For what it was and the art, it sure touched a lot of people to see new ideas spread out in pin-up style. Fashioning this modern "Image" into a go to for collectors to read, and even made it to the movies! Classic watch parties with friends to see it spawn imagination. These were the hits!?! May they be revisited due to streaming and even given new media attention. McFarlane still gets on social to broadcast Spawn to this day, yet he is the "owner" so that checks out!
Complete with Figures, Vehicles, and Comics! Spawn was big! Spawn was advertised heavily, even in Wizard magazine, so here is a card from my personal collection to commemorate, as a back cover picture, that came with the Wizard magazine.

Overt-kill appearance. 1st published artwork by Randy Quenn. Got in a Holiday Raffle 2020-2021, by the boardie LoneTree. Super Happy! Awesome simple pose with the fire and guns! We have a bit of Rambo syndrome left over from the 80's here with the 90's Spawn. Al Simmons is the Spawn we know, and even made it to the movies. A little bit of low production value. Still mainly, it was well received with the spec-ops Al being betrayed and left for dead. He then agrees to lead Hell's army, in order to see Wanda and his child one last time. He comes back to the "land of the living" only to discover his best friend and confidant has taken up with his wife. Excruciating pain, and the Violator is trying to see to it that Spawn keeps his "promise" to an underworld of "Spawns." As of now, I believe, the $1 bin has perhaps dried up with random Spawn issues.
Complete nevertheless here are a few I've found in nice shape too, as a back cover pic! $2 a piece readers? Ah that's a fond memory.

They see me rollin' trying to catch me ridin' flirty! 1st Angela. I have a raw of this book, but I got this slab when Titan Comics was having a $15-20 slab fire sale! Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! Such a cool and long beloved character that Angela. I believe that a form was actually introduced at a different company's line of distribution. I want to say at Marvel. Still wanting to use the character, Todd McFarlane made her his own in the Image company he started. Issue #9 is a relative quick use, I guess he really liked or had a plan to use Angela. Striking cover, seemingly to have vanquished Spawn in one blow, standing over the remains. The raw I have that is only fair condition shows Angela leading Mid-Evil Spawn away with promises of helping, yet that has been the fate of a "Spawn" many times, according to the story. This Spawn #9 has a great centerfold poster of Angela by Jim Lee!
Complete with a back cover picture of that centerfold from my under copy that is a beat-up reader, but the centerfold can still dazzle! In all its sketch like glory with a pivotal character at that! Jim Lee doing it up right.
