Here is an interesting bit of comic history, the popular character Spawn was supposed to crossover into Continuity Comics Valeria The She-Bat back in 1993. This would have seen Spawn drawn by comic legend Neal Adams. Spawn was to appear in issues 3 and 4 of the Valeria series. This would have been one of the earliest Spawn Crossovers and perhaps the first time Spawn appeared in a comic by another company (barring the ad that appeared in Rust #1). So if you are a Spawn fan, you would want to get your hands on these, right? Unfortunately the cross over never happened. Read on for the full history.
