About Todd McFarlane and Spawn
Spawn is a comic book created and published by Todd McFarlane, the Emmy and Grammy winning producer and director, and Image Comics, the No.3 comic book publisher in America. With an appeal to adults, Spawn broke the mold in American comics, selling 1.7 million copies in its first issue. Published on a monthly basis and currently at issue 128, Spawn has continuously gained new fans, and is now read by people in more than 30 countries around the world, translated into dozens of languages. It has sold more than 150 million copies worldwide.
Aspiring to bring this character to perfection as a toy, McFarlane started McFarlane Toys in 1994 and began selling Spawn figures. Featuring award-winning detail and accuracy not found on any other toy line, Spawn toys became a huge hit, igniting a global boom in figures and allowing the company to expand into music, movies, horror, sports and electronic gaming. McFarlane Toys has sold more than 50 million figures around the globe since 1994. The company will release more than 30 action figure lines in 2003, including three new Spawn series. To date, McFarlane Toys has released 24 Spawn series, plus several additional specialty releases.
Spawn also developed into an Emmy-Award winning animated cable television series, broadcast between 1997 and 2000, and also was made into a Hollywood film in 1997. McFarlane is currently developing a live-action sequel to the Spawn movie and is scheduled to begin development of a new animated Spawn project within the next year.
