Four years ago, Todd McFarlane launched the first large-scale expansion of the Spawn Universe with King Spawn #1. Now we are here to celebrate the success of the expanded Spawn’s Universe with King Spawn #50. An oversized issue with a story that will cross over into all three of the #50’s coming out in the coming months. (King Spawn, Gunslinger Spawn, The Scorched). An ancient force, almost as old as time itself, has returned, and Spawn is in its sights. The story, sent into two chapters per issue, will be penciled by two of the Spawn Universe’s best, Stephen Segovia and Carlo Barberi. This is the one you don’t want to miss.

King Spawn #50 Variant Gets an Original, Hand-Drawn Spawn Sketch by Todd McFarlane and more!

Todd McFarlane Productions has unveiled new details behind one of the most exciting incentives tied to the oversized King Spawn #50 and the launch of the50/50/50 Program : Cover H, the 1:1000 Raw Pencil Virgin Variant.

Each copy of Cover H will include an original, hand-drawn Spawn sketch inserted directly into the book. Fifty orders will receive sketches by Todd McFarlane himself. After that, all remaining sketches will be randomly assigned from a select group of acclaimed Spawn Universe artists: Jonathan Glapion, Carlo Barberi, Brett Booth, Stephen Segovia, and Jason Shawn Alexander. Sketch artist selection is random and cannot be requested—and ordering early does not guarantee a McFarlane Sketch.

In addition to the sketch insert, every copy of Cover H will be signed by Todd McFarlane and will include a CGC Certificate verifying that both the book and signature are eligible for CGC’s Signature Series program. The certificate will also confirm the authenticity of the inserted sketch. McFarlane has committed to not sign this cover again, ensuring these copies remain limited and highly collectible.

The 1:1,000 variant will likely have a very low print run along with the sketches making it a very difficult book to find in the future. In the announcement, McFarlane said there’s a strong chance there’s less than 100 of the Cover H books printed.

This special variant is part of the larger 50/50/50 Program—a major celebration of the Spawn Universe’s three core titles: King Spawn, Gunslinger Spawn, and The Scorched. As each series hits its 50th issue over the next year, all three will share a matching lineup of premium variant covers and interconnected story elements.

The milestone begins with King Spawn #50, which kicks off a new crossover event that reshapes the Spawn Universe mythos. A powerful ancient force returns—and Spawn is in its sights. The extra-length issue will feature two chapters—illustrated by Carlo Barberi and Stephen Segovia—and a full lineup of covers from McFarlane himself, Skottie Young, Mark Spears, and Puppeteer Lee whose connecting covers span all three of the 50th issues.

McFarlane is also teaming up with CGC for a special collaboration celebrating the conclusion of the 50/50/50 Program. More details will be revealed at the end of September.

King Spawn #50 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, October 15. The Final Order Cutoff for retailers is Monday, September 22.

Todd McFarlane Productions and Image Comics will celebrate the next major milestone in the Spawn Universe with the release of King Spawn #50—an extra-length anniversary issue launching an exciting new storyline and the official kickoff of the “50/50/50 Program” this October.

The 50/50/50 Program will span the three core Spawn Universe titles—King Spawn, Gunslinger Spawn, and The Scorched—as each series reaches its 50th issue over the coming year. All three issues will feature a matching lineup of variants and incentives from some of the most exciting artists in comics, creating one unified program across the Spawn Universe.

Just over four years ago, the debut of King Spawn #1 set new records as the highest-selling superhero monthly comic book series launch of the 21st Century. Now, this special release sets the stage for a crossover event that will unfold across all three landmark issues, as a primordial force returns to target Spawn and forever change one of its core characters.

The story will be told with two chapters per issue, brought to life by Spawn Universe artists Carlo Barberi and Stephen Segovia.

In celebration of this milestone, King Spawn #50 will debut with an expansive lineup of covers with artwork from McFarlane himself, Skottie Young, Mark Spears, and Puppeteer Lee—with Lee contributing a connecting cover set across King Spawn #50Gunslinger Spawn #50, and The Scorched #50.

It will also boast a lineup of high-tier incentive variants, including a 1:50 cover by Mark Spears and multiple premium editions by McFarlane himself, culminating in the 1:1000 Raw Pencil Virgin Variant.

Each copy of this 1:1,000 variant will contain a one-of-one original sketch, inserted directly into the issue. The first 50 sketches will be drawn by McFarlane. If more than 50 copies are ordered of the 1:1,000, additional sketches will be provided by Spawn Universe artists Jonathan Glapion, Carlo Barberi, Brett Booth, Stephen Segovia, and Jason Shawn Alexander. Every copy of the 1:1000 is guaranteed to contain an original sketch but sketches other than McFarlane’s will be distributed at random.

Additionally, two of the premium incentive editions—Cover G (1:250) and Cover H (1:1000)—will be signed by Todd McFarlane and will never be signed again. McFarlane has confirmed that these books will be strictly limited to this single wave of signed copies, ensuring their long-term value for collectors and retailers.

McFarlane and CGC will also team up for a special collaboration tied to the 50/50/50 Program. More details will be announced in the months ahead, including a private signing and exclusive collectibles tied to all three milestone issues.

Spawn #350 sends shockwaves through King Spawn, The Scorched, and GunSlinger

This month marks a pivotal moment in the history of Todd McFarlane‘s Spawn. The monumental issue #350 promises an unprecedented shift and new direction for the acclaimed Spawn series—initiating not only a new era for Spawn, but also sending shockwaves through the rest of the Spawn Universe of titles. In Spawn #350, after a 250-issue vacancy, a NEW RULER will sit on the Throne of Hell, and this momentous reveal will affect the direction of the main Spawn series’ storyline—as well as radically change trajectory of its monthly companion series: King SpawnThe Scorched, and Gunslinger
 
This line-wide new direction makes February the perfect time for new readers to get on board with the Spawn Universe. In light of this massive narrative change, Spawn #350—along with King Spawn #31Gunslinger #29, and The Scorched #27—all serve as ideal jumping-on points for both seasoned Spawn fans and newcomers alike, and will offer compelling introductions to the Spawn Universe. The events of Spawn #350 will change the status quo for these titles forever… and readers will want to see the fallout.

As the repercussions of the events unfolding in Spawn #350 echo throughout the Spawn Universe, they will impact the fate of every character. The balance of power will undergo a dramatic shift. Characters—both past and present—will find themselves at the forefront of this ever-evolving storyline, reshaping the Power Rankings within the Spawn Universe. 
 
Continuing to showcase their creative ingenuity, Spawn and Gunslinger are set to undergo artistic transformations, too, as esteemed artists Brett Booth and Carlo Barberi exchange artistic roles—bringing fresh perspectives to both titles beginning with Spawn #351 and Gunslinger #29. These titles will showcase this new direction with a bold cover banner atop the title’s logo, and future issues of The Scorched and King Spawn will also don the same callout banner.
 
Fans will soon bear witness to their beloved characters’ struggles with the consequences of losing the powers once bestowed upon them from Heaven or Hell, while also adapting to their newfound roles and identities. 

It will affect everyone.
