Happy Spider-Man Day! Todd McFarlane's Spider-Man released 30 years ago!


The month of August has arrived, and the first day is widely recognized by comic book fans as "Spider-Man Day" - when the world was introduced to Peter Parker and his amazing alter ego in the pages of "Amazing Fantasy #15" in 1962! Now each year, webheads and Spidey fans find ways to celebrate the occasion - but this particular time also marks the 30th Anniversary of one of the most dynamic Spider-Man titles released in Marvel Comics history - thanks to the art and contributions of one Todd McFarlane!



On August of 1990, "Spider-Man #1" was released to the world - with a young and enthusiastic artist by the name of Todd McFarlane getting the "keys to his own Spidey title" thanks to his game changing work in the pages of "The Amazing Spider-Man" where he created the dynamic poseable drawings of the character and the messy "spaghetti webs" that would be a signature contribution to the modernized interpretation of the wallcrawler. McFarlane's ASM run would also see the introduction of "Venom" - who would go on to be one of Spider-Man's most fearsome rivals and a fan-favorite Marvel character in his own right.

While three decades have come and gone and the book is cemented as a classic, Todd McFarlane's career would further progress outside of Marvel - leading to the founding of Image Comics, the creation of Spawn, and branching out to other prospects like making toys under his "McFarlane Toys" production. His life and career was recently detailed in the SYFY Wire documentary "Todd McFarlane: Like HELL I Won't!" - which you can watch above!

Happy Spider-Man Day and Happy 30 years to Todd McFarlane's Spider-Man!

Todd McFarlane draws Spider-Man and Spawn together for the very first time in Overstreet Guide cover


After 27 years since he last drew the character professionally, Todd McFarlane returns to drawing Spider-Man for an official cover and pairs him with the creation he made following his departure from Marvel Comics in the 1990's... Spawn himself.

Via his own Twitter account, McFarlane shared the image for his upcoming cover of "Overstreet Guide" of Spawn crouching on a typical demon sculpture ledge... But adding Spider-Man as well hanging upside down and with the "Spaghetti Webs" the artist made famous when he was drawing the character in the late 80's for "The Amazing Spider-Man" and then his own "Spider-Man" solo title in the early 90's. McFarlane would leave the publisher shortly afterwards - forming alongside fellow popular artists like Jim Lee and Whilce Portacio their own publishing house called "Image Comics".

As a big time of Todd McFarlane's art, this is definitely a team-up that has to happen in an official comic book series of its own and it's been a long time coming too.
