Image Comics President and SPAWN creator, Todd McFarlane, will pay tribute to Chadwick Boseman in the upcoming SPAWN #311 with a cover in memory of the late actor who brought to life Marvel’s Black Panther character in the Avengers films.
“Given the limited amount of minority characters in the comic industry today that are considered major Superheroes, I thought it appropriate for one of those well-known heroes (Spawn) to pay tribute to a man who made a lasting impact on helping shape such a strong superhero of color,” said McFarlane. “Chadwick Boseman is a person who honed his skills and then made a career using them. Then he fought a fight against his own body that showed the true spirit of this man. We should all admire the traits Chadwick shared with us. And the inspiration he gave to millions of children around the globe who got to see a strong, meaningful and proud hero that looked like themselves.”
SPAWN #311 Cover B by McFarlane (Diamond Code AUG200369) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, October 28.
Already had a bunch on pre order and now it’s totally worth it with that cover
I totally agree. It’s ?
In addition, Image will be overshipping free B&W Chadwick Boseman covers at 20% of the retailers’ total order of A, B, and C. So if a retailer orders 10 copies each of the three open to order covers, they will receive 6 free copies of cover D (which cannot be ordered on its own).
My shop typically orders around 35 copies of each issue of Spawn. Around 15, 10, and 10. We will probably go to 20, 20, and 10 with 10 free cover Ds.
Will they come damaged too?
Oh, snap!
