After a successful 2022 campaign that saw SPAWN capture the title of best-selling comic book once again. Todd McFarlane is finding new ways to bring exciting talent to his roster with his Artist Spotlight series. 

Each month of 2023 will feature a NEW spotlight artist who will create covers for the 4 Spawn Universe titles: SPAWN, Gunslinger Spawn, Scorched, and King Spawn. 

The series has seen David Mack, Simone Bianchi, and Mark Spears contribute their talents with outstanding covers in each of their respective months. 

Mark Brooks is up for the month of April, bringing his own unique style to each title. Brooks took his covers a step further this month by turning them into 4 part connecting covers. 

When asked about why he chose to take on the Artist Spotlight project, Mark had this to say,

"As a huge fan of Todd through his entire career starting at Marvel up to today, it's been a goal of mine to work with him. Having the opportunity to put my personal spin on his legendary Spawn universe is a big milestone for me professionally and personally. It's thrilling to have this on my resume. My inner fanboy can't believe it! "

Mark Brooks is best known for his work on Marvel Comics, where he worked on titles such as Cable & Deadpool, The Amazing Spider-Man, Han Solo, and  New  X-Men. Additionally, he is known for his work with DC Entertainment,  where he completed numerous covers on Detective Comics.
