“I know, but it’s Hollywood. You try 19 things and make one.”
– Todd McFarlane
Todd McFarlane is one of the most popular and controversial comic book creators ever. He established his popularity in the late ’80s drawing Marvel superhero books such as The Incredible Hulk and The Amazing Spider-Man. Then in the early ’90s, in a uproarious and unprecedented move, McFarlane and a few of the hottest Marvel creators stopped doing Marvel books and formed their own company, Image Comics.
Riding a new wave of popularity for comic books, Image rolled out book after book which broke records including McFarlane’s Spawn, which for a time was the best selling independent comic book, shifting 1.2 million copies of the first issue. The popularity of Spawn created a whole industry for McFarlane with comic books, a movie, a hit cartoon, and a line of extremely popular toys. Now you can relive your more pimply days with the Spawn Collection Volume 1 which reprints issues #1-8, 11, & 12.
