SPAWN 77 #1 (OF 3) – CVR C TODD McFARLANE ORIGINAL 1977 UPDATE VARIANT

💀🔥 THE ORIGINAL 1977 SPAWN—UPDATED BY TODD McFARLANE HIMSELF! 🔥💀

Go back to the earliest creative roots of Spawn with SPAWN 77 #1 COVER C, featuring the incredible TODD McFARLANE ORIGINAL 1977 UPDATE VARIANT!

Before Spawn #1.

Before Image Comics became a powerhouse.

Before the toys, animation, games and worldwide Spawn phenomenon…

There was a 16-year-old Todd McFarlane sketching ideas for a character in 1977.

That character would eventually become:

SPAWN.

Nearly five decades later, McFarlane revisits those creative beginnings with this special Cover C—an updated interpretation inspired by his original 1977 Spawn design.

For longtime Spawn collectors, this is one of the most historically interesting covers in the Spawn 77 #1 lineup.

🕷️ THE SPAWN BEFORE SPAWN

Most collectors know the story begins with Spawn #1 in 1992.

Creatively, though, Spawn's history goes back much further.

1977.

Todd McFarlane was only 16 years old when he created the earliest design that would eventually evolve into Spawn.

Spawn 77 takes its name directly from that year.

And Cover C makes that history the centerpiece.

Rather than simply giving collectors another modern Spawn cover, McFarlane returns to the concept he created as a teenager and gives it an updated treatment.

The original idea.

Revisited by the original creator.

🎨 TODD McFARLANE ORIGINAL 1977 UPDATE VARIANT

This is what separates Cover C from the rest of the open-order Spawn 77 lineup.

Todd McFarlane isn't simply drawing another Spawn cover.

He's revisiting his own history.

Cover C is officially designated the Original 1977 Update Variant, connecting the artwork directly to the earliest incarnation of Spawn.

For McFarlane collectors, that gives Cover C a particularly compelling collecting angle:

1977 concept.

2026 comic.

Todd McFarlane artwork.

Spawn #1 of a brand-new miniseries.

💀 49 YEARS IN THE MAKING

Todd McFarlane first conceived Spawn in 1977.

Then came Spawn #1 in 1992.

Decades of comics followed.

Hundreds of issues.

Toys.

Animation.

Games.

Movies.

An entire expanding Spawn Universe.

And now, 49 years after that original concept was created, Spawn 77 finally brings that earliest incarnation into an official comic-book story.

For longtime Spawn readers, that's a fascinating piece of the character's history.

🎨 FULLY PAINTED INTERIORS BY MARK SPEARS

The historical connection isn't the only reason to pick up Spawn 77.

Fan-favorite artist Mark Spears joins McFarlane as co-writer while providing the series' fully painted interior artwork.

That means the creative combination behind this book is:

TODD McFARLANE × MARK SPEARS

McFarlane brings the history.

Spears brings his distinctive painted style.

Together they're creating a wickedly different version of Spawn.
