Spawn 14: Resurrection

Spawn (UK) #14

by Todd McFarlane, Greg Capullo, Brian Holguin

Staggering home truths & portents abound for our newly reassembled Hellspawn in the foresightful 14th vol. of Todd McFarlane's symbolic Spawn saga. At last, the big picture starts to emerge, the Hellspawn s role in the ever-escalating war between the forces of light & darkness revealed. Since his (original) recreation, the former Al Simmons has blundered around in the dark -- literally -- unsure if he has a greater purpose or is just a pawn in some celestial power game. But now a third player makes its presence felt, a verdant force threatened by the wiles of heaven & hell alike, one that views Spawn not as just a means to an end, but the end itself. Plus, the gargantuan new menace of The Heap!

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.
