Image Comics Hardcover
Todd McFarlane returns to comic books with a much-anticipated tale that will see his creation, Spawn, come to terms with the emotions that first led him to his current state of being -- that of a damned soul on a quest for redemption through an after-life filled with violence and deceit.

Penciled and written by Todd, the Spawn story in the Image Comics Hardcover ties directly into the events of issue #150 and sets the stage for things to come.

Available in both a standard hardcover format for $24.99 and a special signed and numbered slipcase edition for $75.00, the Image Comics Hardcover will be available at finer comic book stores everywhere this November.

Spawn Collection Volume #1
Long out-of-print and highly-sought after by both longtime and brand-new followers of the Spawn mythos, we are proud to announce the release of the first in an on-going series of trade paperbacks collecting the early issues of this long running comic book franchise.

Spawn Collection Vol. #1 contains the stories and artwork (by Todd, himself) that set the groundwork for the most successful independent comic book ever published. Re-printing issues 1-8, 11 & 12 -- all illustrated by Todd McFarlane and featuring the introduction of not only Spawn, but a number of other memorable and menacing characters -- such as Malebolgia and the Violator.

This initial 240-page collection will be on sale in October in both softcover ($19.95) and hardcover ($39.95) formats.

Spawn Manga Volume 1
This ain't no Pokemon, folks. Volume #1 of the Spawn Manga is the first 200 pages in a 600-page epic that sees the Spawn mythology depicted as it has never been before. Originally published in Japanese as Shadows of Spawn -- now translated into English for the very first time -- this tale of the eternal war between Heaven and Hell showcases a number of classic Spawn characters, along with a few fan-favorite action figures that make their comic book debut. Top that off with original characters, both good and evil, and you have a story like nothing you can imagine.

Look for the Spawn Manga, available in softcover ($19.95), this November.
