Todd McFarlane (born March 16, 1961) is a Canadian comic book artist, writer, toy manufacturer/designer, and media entrepreneur who is best known as the creator of the 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 1990s 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.

McFarlane Toys announces plans to produce a "SLASH" action figure based on his in-game character from Activision's hit videogame, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. The action figure is expected to hit mass retailers in February 2009.

Howdy! I'm Adam Ross and I'm the head of the digital department at McFarlane Toys and occasional freelance modeller (non-competition, of course). In this Making Of article I'm going to go through the entire process of taking my model from digital to reality, utilising a cadre of software packages and one nice rapid prototyping machine!

I'll stick with the much cooler Todd McFarlane produced Spawn action figures for now. The Manga Spawn series with the 3rd one already out in the USA looks pretty cool. Only if McFarlane Toys would make such cool transformable Spawn action figures on par with Bandai's Soul of Chogokin toys in terms of quality, of course the price would be, naturally

Writer David Hine of the current comic book from Todd McFarlane Productions Spawn stops by the Septagon News Blog to talk about his upcoming and current comic book projects. Fans of Spawn and Hine’s earlier work with Marvel’s X-Men and Strange Embrace should be prepared for another ride of great twisted storytelling.
