Korn Follow The Leader Album Art Explained

The album cover was a concept thought up by Korn guitarist Munky which was scetched by a friend of Jonathan Davis before being handed over to Todd McFarlane of McFarlane Entertainment. You might know him for his artist work on The Amazing Spider-Man comics. He is also the creator of the superhero series, Spawn.

"I'd looked at all their album covers, and they all had this weird sort of mystery about them, like looming shadows. The one I remember [1994's Korn] had a girl on a swing, and there was like a shadow on the ground. What was interesting about it was, 'Was that shadow a predator or a protecting parent?' It left it to the imagination of whoever was looking at the image to decide.

On the Follow the Leader album cover I worked with Greg Capullo... He and I said, 'Well, what if we do hopscotch, but it's on the edge of a cliff. So the question is, will she keep going or will she do what you're supposed to do in hopscotch, which is turn around, and come back?' We did that to play with some of the stuff that Korn had already established with some of their prior album covers." - McFarlane, Todd McFarlane Reveals Story behind Korn's "Freak On A Leash" Music Video, Revolver (Dec 16, 2022)
