Todd McFarlane writes and Jason Shawn Alexander handles the interior art, a pairing that brings the series' gritty, supernatural atmosphere to the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"details\"\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries Title\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spawn\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIssue\u003c\/strong\u003e: #296\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover\u003c\/strong\u003e: B (Mattina Virgin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover Artist\u003c\/strong\u003e: Francesco Mattina\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWriter\u003c\/strong\u003e: Todd McFarlane\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist\u003c\/strong\u003e: Jason Shawn Alexander\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Image Comics\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Year\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariant Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Virgin Variant\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKey Issue\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st appearance of Mother Mary\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"disclaimer\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*PHOTO DISCLAIMER:\u003c\/strong\u003e All photos are of the actual items, unless marked as pre-order.
