Todd McFarlane;
Born in Canada in 1961, McFarlane’s road trip to creative autonomy began when he accepted an assignment pencilling for Marvel/Epic Comics in March 1984. From there, he worked his way to the top of the talent roster before leaving Marvel to help found Image comics with six other artists.
It was then that Todd introduced his own character, Spawn. The book’s debut in 1992 sold an amazing 1.7 million copies, an unprecedented feat in independent comics. From there came a whirlwind of growth and expansion: more comics, action figures, film, animation and the Web.
In 1994, Todd founded McFarlane Toys, because he wanted to maintain maximum creative control over his Spawn character. Over the years, the company has become one of the largest, most renowned toy manufacturers in the world. In addition to Spawn, McFarlane Toys has produced figures from such properties as KISS, Shrek, X-Files, Austin Powers, Metal Gear Solid, Clive Barker, Akira, the Beatles, Army of Darkness, Jaws, Rob Zombie, Alien, Predator, AC/DC and dozens of others.

Christopher Knowles – Our Gods Wear Spandex: The Secret History of Comic Book Heroes
November 11, 2007
Comic book artist and writer Christopher Knowles joins us for a very interesting discussion about his book: Our Gods Wear Spandex: The Secret History of Comic Book Heroes. We talk about everything from Ancient Mythology to Secret Societies, Symbolism and what part the comic book heroes have in our world today. Topic Discussed: Chris’ background in the comic book industry, Prometheus, Mithras, Symbolism, Architecture, (Free) Masonry, 1930’s, New York, The Big Apple, Retelling of the Ancient Stories, Mythologies, The Last Supper Cover, The Gilgamesh Epic, 9/11, Talisman, Graham Hancock, Edward Bulwer Lytton, The Coming Race, Blavatsky & Theosophy, Is TV series like Heroes and Movies like the X-Men simply entertainment or “predictive programming”? Are these stories with a prophetic message about “natural evolution” or simply about acclimatization to transhumanism and genetic engineering? Don’t miss this fascinating program. Also don’t miss out excellent Subscriber Interview with Christopher on movie symbolism, the Templars and John the Baptist.
“The collision of science, morality, and magic is being played out hundreds of times a month in comic books and other media, showing us the implications of superhuman potential. Is this an unconscious form of preparation for an inevitable shift in human reality? Should we pay more careful attention to the visionaries and lunatics who anticipate the future in comic-book storylines? In that supernatural realm called the human imagination, comic-book creators like Alan Moore and Alex Ross may be time-travelers, forecasting the future for us and showing us the way. It’s funny how it all seems so similar to the ancient myths. The past and future are always with us.”
– Christopher Knowles, “Our Gods Wear Spandex, The Secret History of Comic Book Heroes”
