Todd McFarlane, whose accomplishments besides being a co-founder and President of Image Comics, the third-largest comics publisher, including winning Emmy and Grammy awards, has just shattered the record for Image Comics’ top-selling, first issue comic book of the 21st century by selling well over 200K units of SPAWN’S UNIVERSE #1.
Over the years, the industry and fans have recognized McFarlane’s award-winning projects in entertainment, comics, publishing, and toys with two Grammy nominations, one Grammy win, two Emmy Awards, two MTV Video Music Awards, one Canadian MuchMusic Award, the 2021 Toy of the Year (TOTY) Award, a People’s Choice Award, Guinness World Record holder, and more than 150 International awards.
Set for a Wednesday, June 23 release, SPAWN’S UNIVERSE #1 will be followed by King Spawn, McFarlane’s first NEW ongoing Spawn series since 1992, out in August, and is projected to have even higher sales than Spawn’s Universe #1.
Then come two more brand-new titles, first in October, the highly anticipated Gunslinger series and The Scorched in December. Both series are also on track to sell more than 200K units each, meaning that by the end of 2021, McFarlane will have crossed the threshold of 200K units with four different titles in less than six months.
