I just rewatched the 90s Spawn animated series where he introduced each episode.. absolute brilliant. Loved this time in comic animation and storytelling.
Jim Lee and Todd McFarlane's artwork is absolutely unmatched.
I enjoyed Torment. I loved the darker Spider man take.
This man is his own thing. I admire him as a man. Created his own lane and ran it.
I'd buy a comic drawn by todd's mom
Im glad this guy exists. He tells you his secrets and is open to share his thoughts on everything.
I absolutely love his answer here 12:31 and he's 100% right.
love how this dude describes a fascist and doesn't realize it– sometimes don't meet your heroes
His passion for his craft is infectious. I find any topic is fascinating with that level of sincerity.
This guy created basically all my favorite anti-heroes. Great mind on this gentleman
Batman IS a Fascist.
That clown that said Batman is a fascist, is just a far Lefty easily manipulated by criminals puppet. It’s funny how they call others what they actually are.
Alan Becker's animations are a fine example of how story is more important than animation, rather than animation > story
Pure legend in human form. Thank you.
Todd does a 5 second sketch and it looks way better than any drawing I’ve ever done lol
@9:18 jealousy is an ugly mask.
If you have a comic book written by Shakespeare and drawn by your mom, you have a regular book written by Shakespeare.
Just throw out your mom's doodles. It will sell.
so comic book artists are all just schmucks that don't actually know anything
Todd is so cool and he completely changed the industry. Legend.
"I hated Spiderman's living black suit!"
>creates Spawn, a guy in a living black suit lol
Image!!! I grew up in San Diego and got to go to comic con a lot. I remember first stumbling on Image comic books. Still have my Grifter books to this day.
The feet question was a jab at Liefeld.
6th person that makes a comic: the editor
I’m not worthy. 🙇🏽
Bruh,i thought graphic novel means 18+….anything related to violence or adult stuffs.
😂😂😂
12:40 is just THE answer to every literary critic out there 👍
Thank you to the person asking about Spawns costume because I am obsessed with the living costume and without that random fan it would have never happened! Also, of course, thank you to Todd McFarlane for making that up on a whim. 🤣❤️👍 Love that story!
todds a living legend 🙌
So no question about "is manga also a comic ?"
Legend
Todd plzzzz PLEASE do SOMETHING with Spawn!!!! I have given up on a Spawn movie reboot…ur idea sounded cheap and terrible anyway. PLZ REBOOT THE SPAWN HBO ANIMATED TV series (sorta like X-Men 97 reboot) but correct the flaws n make it better!!!!!!!!
I didn't buy a bunch of comics as a kid. But he says, "This was the best selling spiderman issue." and I instantly recognized it.
Bro made up the suit being alive on a whim and nailed it what a legend
