It didn't include issue 10 because it was written by Dave Sim and there was some sort of gentleman's agreement between Sim and MacFarlane. I really want to read that issue one of these days.
That issue and the one Neil Gaiman wrote are the only issues of Spawn that I can recall enjoying. After all these years, I don't remember too much about them other than the fact that I enjoyed them at the time.

I think the other two were by Frank Miller and Alan Moore, did you read those two, as well?

I tend to follow WRITERS (then Artists) instead of Publisher...
Oh I agree, but Image really occurred when I was like 12-13, and I honestly wasn't fully into reading comics for literary quality at this time (I had many of the literary classics behind me at this time - different meals for different hungers) and without question I was drawn into by the semi-anti establishment tone of Image.

To be completely honest when I read a comic now, I'm completely oblivious to the art the first time around reading it (reading it like a novel) and usually don't digest the art at all until a later read.
I still read some Image books, like Shadow Hawk and anything with Badrock in it. Badrock is one bad@$$ dude.
