One was snaffled up by Bleeding Cool's Hannah Means-Shannon Who took it with her to Papercutz, publisher of children's graphic novels in the European style Where Jim Salicrup, the man who edited that run on Spider-Man is now working[...]

Ian Melton writes; Ask a comic book fan about Todd McFarlane and they'll probably tell you one of three things: he draws a great Spider-Man; he created Spawn; he has a huge ego Go further down the list and other things will pop up, but few people know that Todd McFarlane, born in Canada, actually attended[...]

If you pick up a Walking Dead: Michonne resin statue from your local comic shop, you may be slightly worried to discover it doesn't come with it's Todd McFarlane Certificate of Authenticity. Don;t worry, your shop isn't trying to palm you off with a knock off, it's just that the certificates idn;t ship with the statue[...]

Entertainment Weekly is showing off the new look of Angela, by way of Joe Quesada. Quite a trick, considering how much she seemed to change in appearance

Yes, that Angela. Created by Neil Gaiman and Todd McFarlane in Spawn, the character was the subject of a number of Image comic series and appearances, as well as a long legal battle regarding ownership alongside Marvelman and Cogliostro, the character can be used by either Todd or Neil as long as the other gets a[...]

Bleeding Cool Magazine article by Rich Johnston People understand Hollywood feuds exist, but find it strange similar behaviour might be exhibited in a

Ouch. From happier versions;

Haunt #29 was published yesterday with rather an explosive ending and the line; It was the last issue to be written by Joe Casey and subsequent issues have been solicited with Todd McFarlane as a writer. The question asked by a number is… has the book actually been cancelled with the current issue? Were the subsequent solicitations[...]

We reported on what appeared to be a rather ridiculous legal suit earlier this year, when Todd McFarlane sued Al Simmons for representing himself as the inspiration for Todd's creation Spawn Despite Todd McFarlane's publications often describing Al Simmons as… well… the inspiration for Todd's creation, Spawn. Well, it's been settled The Hollywood Reporter reports; Spawn creator[...]

An excellent result for a historically-important piece which puts it inside the top 10 highest prices ever paid for an American line-art comic book cover at public auction — and at a glance, the highest price ever paid for a Silver Age DC cover at public auction. There were plenty of other strong results in the[...]

But he doesn't seem to have stopped. Masquerading as one "Greg Garwood", Josh Hoopes is continuing to approach dealers trying to sell sketches (below) purporting to be by Todd McFarlane Bleeding Cool has received confirmation from Todd, if confirmation were needed, that these are fakes. He has already scammed one respected dealer and is continuing to do[...]

And now I have confirmation from both Todd and Art that they are complete and utter forgeries. These are the so-called sketches by Todd McFarlane and Art Adams that one Gregory Garwood sold to major comics art dealer, Mike Burkey He paid $750 for the Art Adams piece alone Only when Burkey paid did he realise[...]

Todd McFarlane is suing Al Simmons, his former friend and employee, after whom who he named the secret identity of his character Spawn. And who he then employed to dress up as Spawn and appear at various comic conventions, and launches at his comic store. And its all due to a book that Simmons wrote, The Art[...]

 Just when everyone thought the Spider-Man #1 cover might grab the record, the 1990 Amazing Spider-Man #328 by Todd McFarlane cover beats it by a long shot — and becomes the new record holder for a piece of American comic book art, closing just moments ago at Heritage Auctions for $657,250. The new record was set[...]

To the shock of every original art collector and auction watcher in the world today (except, perhaps, for 2 of them), this result was blown away just moments later. The original cover art for 1990's Spider-Man #1 by Todd McFarlane has just sold for $358,500 It is the third highest price ever paid for a piece[...]

Bleeding Cool understands that three of the eight traditionally distributed covers for The Walking Dead #100 have sold out. The covers by Todd McFarlane, Sean Phillips and Ryan Ottley have all had their print runs fully allocated to retailers and no more orders will be accepted. I understand that even with pre-orders of around 330,000 from[...]

The last chance for shops to order copies and actually get them is on Monday… Charlie Adlard… Marc Silvestri… Frank Quitely… Todd McFarlane Sean Phillips Bryan Hitch… Ryan Ottley Charlie Adlard (wraparound) Charlie Adlard (black and white wraparound 1:200) Charlie Adlard (chromium wraparound) Gotta atch 'em all… Here they are folks[...]

If the company goes down, Rhode Island will be out, with interest, over $110 million. And the reason this is rather relevant?

For Spawn 220, the twentieth anniversary edition of Spawn, Todd McFarlane is doing variant covers aping his fellow Image artists We've seen his Savage Dragon #1-styled cover, now have a look at his version of Youngblood #1 with a variety of Spawns and Spawnettes. The original is below… Originally the homage covers were incentives for ordering certain[...]

They're the ones – like Rick Shea over in Florida – who look at something like Saga and see a book that isn't just going to do well with its first issue, or as a monthly series, but as a series of trades that will sell and sell and sell. That Rick had to sit down[...]

Recently, Todd McFarlane came clean – the man credited as writing Spawn for the last couple of years, one Will Carlton, was actually Todd himself. We're heading into the 20th anniversary of Spawn  That'll be issue 220  I'm going to jump on board and do the covers starting with that issue  I'll start doing some goofy[...]

Thanks to Daniel Best who pulled out a bunch of legal papers on the Neil Gaiman/Todd McFarlane case over owed moneys, showing that as part of the lawsuit, and the subsequent bankruptcy of one of Todd McFarlane's companies, he had to pay $382,000 into an escrow holding system, which Daniel estimates as $450,000 now after[...]

Get him to stack shelves pack up boxes or something. WalkingDeadWatch: Todd McFarlane, predictably, is on Team Robert in the upcoming lawsuit. Yeah I just went, Robert, what you're about to get involved in is a pain in the ass, take it from me But there is a silver lining in that you're doing something that matters[...]

Certainly quicker that the time it took to settle a certain case. It began back in 1993 when Neil Gaiman was approached to work on Spawn by Todd McFarlane He wrote issue 9, introducing characters Cogliostro, Medieval Spawn and Angela, wrote the spinoff Angela mini-series introducing the angelica to the Spawn universe and found three other[...]
