McFarlane used to be co-owner of National Hockey League's Edmonton Oilers but sold his shares to Daryl Katz. 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. 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. Spawn was one of America's most popular heroes in the 1990's and encouraged a trend in creator-owned comic book properties. 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. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, McFarlane became a comic book superstar due to his work on Marvel Comics' Spider-Man franchise. We need to be that advertising if we want more.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. The problem with Spawn is that Todd thinks it sells itself. Get them for yourself, your friends, your family. Not just further reprints, but new books.īuy'em up. The reason you should do it is that I've been assured that interest in these reprints will gauge McFarlane's interest in doing more. You're probably thinking 'Why the fuck would I buy the Origins books if they just cancel them after issue 100?', good point. This is pretty much the only unified Spawn community on the web now that the official Spawn forums are gone. You guys have a lot more pull than you think. I take messages from this subreddit and put them directly into the ear of McFarlane employees. Now, for those of you who found you couldn't find the first book (hardcover particularly) without paying crazy prices, you will see them at normal prices available again very soon! And you know why they're going back in print? Because you asked for it. I have a few friends in the McFarlane camp who told me of this a while back, and I sought confirmation last night to double-check before I made this post.

I'm sure we speculated, and wondered, and waited to hear about the next issue. The Spawn Origins collections are canceled.
