Mark Spears is a artist working in comic books, with covers for Spawn titles, Power Rangers, Darkhorse and DC Comics coming out in 2024. Mark has made history as a 'first year' comic book artist starting with my Spawn covers in March of 2023. Mark has since finished 25 mainstream comic book covers for Power Rangers, Spawn and DC Comics.

Now he wants to make history with my own creator owned project on kickstarter. Mark Spears Monsters is an ongoing comic series. Mark does all the covers, interiors and writing. The first part of the series titled "All That Remains" spans 8 issues and releases all at the same time. All the artwork for the 8 issue is 100% complete. It has taken Mark most of 2023 to create this comic series and it's truly a passion project born of hard work, pure love for storytelling, and an attitude of 'if they won't publish my book, I'll do it myself'.
