The Spawn Universe is expanding in May with the release of The Curse of Sherlee Johnson by Daniel Henriques and Jonathan Glapion.
At the heart of this new saga is Sherlee Johnson, a seven-year-old whose death at the hands of the notorious serial killer Billy Kincaid rocked readers back in Spawn #5and set off a chain of unforeseen consequences. Now Sherlee is reborn—transformed and armed with mysterious powers—yet still struggles with the loss of her previous life. She must navigate a brutal, unforgiving world alongside the enigmatic Stranger, as she wrestles with lingering pain and the pressures of a newfound purpose and destiny.
The highly collectible Spawn #5 issue—which first hit shelves in 1992—will be brought back to print for fans eager to revisit Sherlee’s original appearance and see where it all began.
“Growing up with Spawn, I always felt there was more to Sherlee Johnson’s story,” said Henriques. “As I started pulling on the threads left behind, her journey just exploded beyond even my own expectations. Collaborating with my longtime friend and co-creator, Jonathan Glapion—a true artistic powerhouse—has been incredibly rewarding. Together, we crafted our own new corner in the Spawn Universe, and with Todd McFarlane’s full support, we are pushing it to the limit. I hope everyone enjoys this ever-expanding journey with us—it just keeps on getting wilder!”
The Curse of Sherlee Johnson #1 arrives on May 21, 2024.
