Todd McFarlane Reveals First Ever Spawn And Spider-Man Together Cover

It has been more than 25 years since McFarlane and six other superstar artists left Marvel and DC behind to found Image Comics. In the intervening quarter-century, almost every other Image creator has returned to play in the Big Two sandbox at some point, but McFarlane has resisted. While he clearly has affection for the DC and Marvel characters he grew up with (and often draws them for fun during videos on social media), this is the first time since leaving the title that McFarlane has drawn Spider-Man professionally.

Fans have long wondered about the possibility of teaming Spawn with Spider-Man, and McFarlane has said in the past that Marvel had approached him at one point. Given how busy he is with publishing comics, directing the planned Spawn movie, and running a toy empire that now includes making official toys for DC Comics, it seems unlikely that McFarlane would be able to find time to do much more than covers for such a series, though, and it seems likely that fans (and Marvel) would want to see him drawing some Spidey interiors.

McFarlane famously introduced the villain of Venom in the storyline that included The Amazing Spider-Man #300 — and recently homaged his own covers with Spawn as the character broke Dave Sim’s long-held record as the longest-running indie comic of all time with #301. The series is continuing on, with another Image title — Savage Dragon — about to hit #250 as well.
