Grammy-and Emmy-winning producer/director Todd McFarlane became a true comic book superstar from his work on Marvel Comics’ Spider-Man franchise. He co-founded Image Comics and launched his own comic title, Spawn. The comic became an Emmy Award-winning animated series on HBO and a feature film from that grossed more than $100 million. McFarlane founded the international award-winning McFarlane Toys – now one of America’s top action figure manufacturers. A whirlwind of growth and expansion in McFarlane’s companies followed: more comics, action figures, and award-winning entertainment projects. In February 2017, the BBC announced a new TV Series “Sam and Twitch”, based on Todd McFarlane’s Spawn Comic Characters, and it’s attached to producer, director, writer Kevin Smith. McFarlane will serve as the executive producer.
