1st appearance of Mother Mary. Francesco Mattina virgin variant cover.
Spawn #296 arrives at a meaningful point in the long-running Image Comics series, with issue #296 and its companion #297 delivering 'History of Spawn' material that walks through Al Simmons' life, death, and transformation into Spawn. Todd McFarlane writes and Jason Shawn Alexander handles the interior art, a pairing that brings the series' gritty, supernatural atmosphere to the page.
This is the Francesco Mattina Virgin Variant (Cover B), presenting Mattina's cover art without trade dress, logos, or cover text. Mattina's painted style, dense with shadow and saturated color, makes his Spawn covers among the most visually striking in the modern run. The virgin format strips away everything but the image itself, which is exactly what makes these covers sought out as art objects rather than just reading copies.
This issue is the first appearance of Mother Mary. For collectors building a complete set of Spawn keys or focusing on the Francesco Mattina cover gallery, this virgin variant represents a specific and distinct entry.
