Spawn #6 page #23 full-page pinup from 1992. It marks the first time (ever) that McFarlane collaborated with another artist on his "new" character, Spawn.

- McFarlane has kept all of his Spawn art, so this is the only piece of McSpawn art ever to be sold from 1992 (the year of its debut).
- The next closest McSpawn art on the market was from issue 20 from 1994!
- Full page pinup features huge image of Spawn,  with his nemesis Malebolgia brooding in the background.
- Signed by McFarlane in his famous “scroll” signature (also signed by Mychaels, twice)

Auction is this Friday!

Likely the only McFarlane Spawn art from 1992 that will ever be sold.

On Facebook, Mychaels had this to say about the piece:

"I don't regret much in life...but I regret selling this in 2001"

Responding, other industry vets chimed in:

Chance Wolf: "I specifically remember that collaboration! I and many others may have been a bit jealous of that historic moment  Awesome piece! Sorry it slipped from your hands!"
Brian Pullido: "Epic!"
Dan Fraga: "Damn!"
