Spawn: The Dark Ages #1

Cover by Glenn Fabry

A Hellspawn comes to the English village of Rhyll, looking to find a hint of who he is and what he has become. What he finds instead is gross injustice and a people oppressed by Baron Rivalen. He intervenes in a clash between a common peasant and Rivalin's captain-at-arms, Guy DuBlanc, and slices up the vain man's face. He then approaches a crumbling castle that seems familiar where he is greeted by a garrulous stranger.
