The cover art of The Dark Saga depicts comic book artist Todd McFarlane's character Spawn (on whom the entire album is based).
The re-release contains the songs from the limited edition plus two new ones: one is a Judas Priest cover of "The Ripper", which had appeared on the limited edition release of The Dark Saga as a bonus track and on the Judas Priest tribute album A Tribute to Judas Priest: Legends of Metal Vol. 2, and the other is a live version of "Colors" (from Iced Earth), a song that didn't make it on to the Alive in Athens album, due to tracklisting mixups.
