(W)Alan McElroy Painted by Ashley Wood Last spring, fans got their first taste of superstar illustrator, Ashley Wood's compelling interpretation of Spawn in "Blood and Shadows." Since the publication of the first Spawn Annual, fans have demanded to see more Spawn stories rendered by Ashley Wood, who is arguably the most provocative illustrator working in the comic book medium today. The rich visual possibilities of the bizarre world of Spawn once again come alive in "Blood and Salvation," where Ashley Wood's stunning visuals are combined with writer Alan McElroy's feverish words to bring fans yet another definitive interpretation of Todd McFarlane's original vision for Spawn. "Blood and Salvation" is an ironic, twisted tale of the horrors that befall people of faith on the edge of total destruction. FC, 56pg" Cover price $4.95.
