Frank Miller Back in the Spawn Universe for Two Covers
When The Curse of Sherlee Johnson #3 arrives in September 2025, it marks Frank Miller’s return to the Spawn universe. The issue will feature two variant covers by Miller, one of which is a collaboration with Spawn creator and Image President Todd McFarlane.
Miller’s last work for Spawn was 25 years ago for Spawn #100 in 2000, and it is the first cover collaboration between him and McFarlane since 1994’s Wizard Magazine #32.
The Curse of Sherlee Johnson #3 variant cover features Miller’s pencils and inks with colors by Alex Sinclair. Miller’s pencils are reinked by McFarlane for a 1:25 incentive black and white variant.
“One of the great pleasures of being in the comic book industry is getting the chance to collaborate with friends of ours. That is always fun. And when that friend is also the insanely gifted Frank Miller, well, it just makes that fun multiply,” McFarlane said. “Frank has made an historic mark on our industry and to be able to work with him once again after decades… I feel like a giddy kid again. And for those who haven’t yet had the chance to read an issue of The Curse of Sherlee Johnson, I think you are missing a uniquely wicked comic book experience from Daniel and Jonathan.”
“Todd and I got into comics for the exact same reason: the sheer joy of making them. Every once in a while, we get to do it together. We’re like a couple of kids,” Miller said.
“In this chapter, Sherlee and the Stranger make it through their latest trial, but not without consequences. The events they’ve endured continue to weigh heavily, even as a distant camp offers the possibility of safety,” per the description. “Meanwhile, something ancient begins to stir, and what falls from the sky may bring anything but peace. As Heaven arrives and Beliafon makes his move, long-buried truths come to light, and the past refuses to stay hidden.”
The Curse of Sherlee Johnson #3 will also come with variant covers by the book’s artist Jonathan Glapion and writer-artist Daniel Henriques.
“Having Frank Miller do a cover for our book still feels unreal. Then to have Frank Miller and Todd McFarlane together on the same piece… that’s something I never even dreamed could happen,” Henriques said. “I’ve looked up to these gentlemen my whole life, and their support has been one of the highlights of my career. Whoever said, ‘don’t meet your heroes’ has clearly never met Frank and Todd.”
The issue will be in stores on September 17.
