Listener Discretion Advised

Spawn #27

by Todd McFarlane & Greg Capullo & thanks to Kevin Conrad

“Cursed”
Dedicated To: John Buscema

I’ll prove worthy of your empire. I can’t begin to know your great plans, Lord, but I must profess that it does confuse me. I’m forced to use technology from the secular world. I’ve spent the majority of my fortune preparing for your kingdom. Why do you forsake me?

Chapel killed Bobby to get at me. He was just an innocent victim… LIVE!

Blasphemer! BLASPHEMER!

Triumph Comics #31 (Bell Features, 1946)

by Fred Kelly

…This is the work for me… I’m going to spend my life tracking down these weird creatures!! That last encounter banged me up a bit, I’d better design some kind of uniform for protection… light chain-mail would be the best bet!!

Vanguard Illustrated #7 (Pacific Comics, 1984)
Doc Stearn…Mr. Monster (Eclipse Comics, 1985)
Doc Stearn…Mr. Monster Volume 2 (Dark Horse Comics, 1988)

by Michael T. Gilbert & company

Spawn #26 & Bloodstrike #4-10 (1993) & Bloodstrike: Brutalists #23 (2018) & Chapel in Youngblood #7-8 & 10

Listener Discretion Advised

Spawn #26

by Todd McFarlane & Greg Capullo

"The Dark"
Dedicated To: Dave Sim

That is why, after a very long and difficult deliberation, I've decided to remove her from your care and put her in a new set of circumstances. This, I believe, is for her own good.

You torture yourself for answers that, mostly, you've been given. You're just not trying hard enough. Much as I'm tempted to write you off, you do show some spark.

Call me Gabrielle, Mr. Simmons. If I might have a moment of your time, I really would like to talk to you.
 

Bloodstrike #4-10 (1993)

by Rob Liefeld & Dan Fraga & Eric Stephenson & & various

It's been a long time coming, Battlestone, but it looks like we're finally gonna get the chance to settle our differences once and for all-- brother to brother!
 

Bloodstrike: Brutalists #23 (2018)

by Michel Fiffe

Arms, eyes, surgically removed... prolonged state of anesthesia... medical field... official capacity or independent study... Test subjects? Sex slaves? Young women-- girls-- barely out of high school. Brenda will be a senior soon.

Youngblood #7-8 & 10 (1992)

by Rob Liefeld with Eric Stephenson, Danny Miki & Jonathan Sibal

He shot Bobby-- blew his head clean OFF!

As a man who has literally been to hell and back, there is precious little that frightens Al Simmons these days. This, however, comes close. This is the man who killed him. Emerging from the smoke and shadows, he looks like the devil himself, the ghastly white skull he chose long ago as his trademark eerily incandescent in the moonlight. A none-too-subtle reminder of what has passed between these two men... and the unholy bond they share.

It wasn't until later I figured out everything for myself in one divine moment of clarity-- if you had really come back from the dead, then so could I! Thing with me though, Al-- I could care less about love and happiness. You can have that crap. I've got bigger plans for my return-- plans that will change everything... forever.

Cribbed from various internet sources:
Brisco and Socrates Poole head south of the border when the Westerfield Club orders them to recover guns stolen in a train robbery rumored to involve John Bly and his gang. There they find that Dixie Cousins is linked to both the Mexican general and the revolutionaries vying for the guns, and that Pete Hutter was behind the theft. Plus, Chuck Connors talk.
