Spawn - The Dark Ages

In the grim medieval era of the Spawn universe, Spawn: The Dark Ages (2000–2002, Infinity Verlag) follows a new Hellspawn, Lord Covenant, a crusader knight who returns from the dead with a twisted purpose. This 14-issue series expands the mythos beyond the modern day, exploring the cyclical nature of the Spawn curse through a dark fantasy lens. The title is most associated with writer Brian Holguin and artist Liam Sharp, whose lush, detailed artwork brought a brutal, Arthurian atmosphere to the saga. It matters as a bold, standalone chapter that deepened the Spawn lore while showcasing the franchise's versatility beyond its urban horror roots.
