About the author

Todd McFarlane is a Canadian comic book artist, writer, toy manufacturer/designer, and media entrepreneur who is best known as the creator of the epic occult fantasy series Spawn.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, McFarlane became a comic book superstar due to his work on Marvel Comics' Spider-Man franchise. In 1992, he helped form Image Comics, pulling the occult anti-hero character Spawn from his high school portfolio and updating him for the 1990s. Spawn was one of America's most popular heroes in the 1990's and encouraged a trend in creator-owned comic book properties.

In recent years, McFarlane has illustrated comic books less often, focusing on entrepreneurial efforts, such as McFarlane Toys and Todd McFarlane Entertainment, a film and animation studio.

In September, 2006, it was announced that McFarlane will be the Art Director of the newly formed 38 Studios, formerly Green Monster Games, founded by Curt Schilling.

McFarlane used to be co-owner of National Hockey League's Edmonton Oilers but sold his shares to Daryl Katz. He's also a high-profile collector of history-making baseballs.

All I can say about Spawn thus far as I’m reading these beautiful deluxe editions through is, consistency. The writing, the art, the theme are all consistent. These deluxe sized books are also the perfect companion in terms of being engulfed by the Spawn universe.

Have been a fan and always will be a fan. Vol 4 was a banger.

Il miglior volume della Collection! Finalmente McFarlane cede le sceneggiature a Brian Holguin e si vede: i riassunti si riducono al minimo indispensabile, le ripetizioni spariscono, le storie assumono una struttura e una fluidità nettamente migliori, nonché un bel ritmo, sfruttando finalmente al meglio le ottime idee del buon Todd. Disegni sempre ottimi, sia nei due capitoli firmati Dwayne Turner, sia negli altri capitoli sempre in mano a Capullo. Un fumetto affascinante e violento, che secondo me pativa parecchio la scarsa dimestichezza di McFarlane come scrittore: con Holguin, Spawn ha fatto il salto di qualità.

Another excellent read this is moment when Spawn learns his actions has consequences. And that he no longer has to play the "Game"
