I used to buy weed off a guy who worked at the mall. He sold from his store (a Hot Topic). The code name for bud was "McFarland Toys". You can call on the phone and ask "do you have any McFarland Toys?". This brought back the 90s memories!
I genuinely love Capullo and McFarlane together on art. It’s a great complimentary combination, and it was some of the best looking Spawn possible.
Nice of Spawn to switch the race of the wig as well lol
Youngblood 10 was pretty controversial... It's the issue where Chapel commits suicide.
It’d be great to see some Quasar pages to show how much Capullo’s art had evolved by the time he was on Spawn. Love to see you guys cover that, some day!
as a Pa native and a longtime collectibles sculptor I 'm enjoying your content so much. I worked for Todd's toy company for nearly ten years. Trippy to see all this. Thanks for all the amazing content.
I love that Capullo drew “Greg loves Shelly” onto the hanging page😂.
I recently started going through the first 100 issues of Spawn because I liked Sam and Twitch and love how Capullo drew them. There is a lot of good stuff in the first 100.
Ed’s hot take on Spawn #30 being a kind of “folk art” is very cool. I might actually read the issue. This is the most excited I’ve been about Todd McFarlane since I was eleven years old.
this book is the origin of Clayton Bigsby
I remember picking this up as a kid loved spawn as a kid
I have this one. ;)
VIOLATOR Vs BADROCK - I suggested Alan Moore write my first pro book!
Rob came up with the idea for the book while playing with Badrock and Violator prototype toys. He came into the Extreme bullpen and said 'Denham, I have your book right here!" He had been looking for a project for me to draw that didn't have women. (Because he said I sucked at drawing women) BADROCK vs VIOLATOR! I was blown away. Rob was really excited and so was I. He said "who do you want to write it?" thinking I would pick an in-house writer. I said "Alan Moore" Rob was shocked "There's no fucking way we can get Alan Moore!! I said "You're Rob Liefeld, you can do anything!" He was actually speechless and walked back to his office, made a few calls and later came back to me and said "Denham, Alan Moore is writing your book!" Now I was speechless and nervous. What a huge thing that was. What a generous offer Rob made and he delivered on the biggest ASK I could suggest. I was told Alan did it for beer money. 🤣Alan sent faxes with the page layouts, which they allowed me to change as long as I kept all the important stuff in each panel. The audacity! I only changed a few pages, but I regret it to this day. I loved Alan's layouts, he drew a really cute Badrock.
Rob advertised the book originally as Badrock vs Violator but later changed it to Violator vs Badrock. I don't know if that was McFarlane's suggestion so Violator was first, or if was for sales or what. Years later, on a Liefeld message board, Erik Larson said it made retailers pissed, and the founders had an argument about it. Erik said I was too young to have ever been given that as my first book, (even though I asked for Alan) and he said that VvsB was the reason the Image studios started putting their studio names on the covers; so no retailer would be tricked into ordering a book not knowing which studio made it.
DENHAM pocket signature: My Extreme alumni mostly had ripped paper like Rob's signature, and so did Wildstorm guys. I thought it would be funny on a pocket (calling back to Rob's Levi's commercial and my name) and the bullpen thought it was hilarious, and told me I had to do it. My first published piece at Extreme (where I needed the signature box) was the Badrock pinup in Youngblood Battlezone 2, it hit the stands 10 days after I started at the studio. Crazy days!
Sounds like a crazy time! Tha is for the story, glad you dropped in to tell it. I can't imagine the adrenaline rush of working with Alan Moore on a book. Even if he was just doing it for beer money, lol. I was just a kid in those days, but the books you guys were putting out were an important part of growing up for me.
Thanks for all your hard work and creativity!
@@fordy83 Thank you. My pleasure.
Wasn't that Divided States of Hysteria by Chakin one of the most controversial Image books ever?
Yes, to the point that the issue 4 cover was pulled and the overall mini caused quite the stir online regarding characters in the story.
That's the biggest twist to a comic I've ever seen. It's like the last thing you expect Spawn to do a villain, but it surprisingly works.
This was the first Image/Spawn comic I ever bought and sort of a landmark in my own comics history. I bought it off a newsstand at Disney World of all places!
The cover was so striking, and 10yo me was mesmerized and intrigued by it. I remember thinking, "Whoa! What is this?!" It was so dark and adult compared to the Marvel Spidey's I was reading at the time. It made me an Image guy then and there, and showed me that comics could be more than just palatable superheroes for kids that Marvel and DC were pushing.
Spawn 30 is a watershed book for me.
Same for me. I still have my copy I bought at a little food mart when I was 11 years old. This issue totally blew my mind when I was a kid.
Most controversial Image comic? Whatever Happened to Barron Von Shock?
Actually, the Korn cover is McFarlane and Capullo. They're both credited in the album insert.
Love this issue. One of the first ones I saw on the shelf at the grocery store, Dillon's Supermarket (no relation... I think). That cover hit me in the face! The previous issue and the following 2 issues where he gets his new costume were huge moments for me. I loved how the costume/cape was getting more and more destroyed in the previous issues, leading up to him getting the new one. Since it's alive, it made sense the way he handled it.
I swear, I paused and spent 5 minutes trying to understand the Gates of Hell art. I can't figure out anyone's anatomy to such a radical extent that I feel like I'm just looking at energy. I realize that the goal above all was exciting drawing, but that borders on abstraction.
I bought this issue when it came out at a little food mart down the street from me named Burton Market. (Back when they still sold comics in gas stations and grocery stores.) It blew me away when I took it home. I was born in '84, so I was like 11 I think when this was released.
It was powerful then, and its powerful now. Love the art, and the story. It's still one of my favorite Spawn issues.
Savage Dragon vs God was controversial, right?
Graig F Weich, of Ravedactyl and Civilian Justice fame! I think he ate off this Spawn pinup for years.
Spawn was still selling really well when this came out. i think the 1997 movie is really what made sales plummet, aside from the overall industry crash
“Gotta separate yourself from the pouch guys” got me laughing.
damm thats a really nice cover art
Hilarious reaction to this Spawn issue, Todd's sort of naive edgelord tendencies are so perfectly 90s
This the joint that got comics banned in grocery stores.
For a moment I thought it was going to be the Cerebus one, but this takes the cake too. Good job!

Even from the view up here in Canada, I have a few criticisms about this story, though nothing "cancel-worthy". I can still see what McFarlane was trying to do here, though.
There was a different energy when Capullo came on. You can tell from the McFarlane issues to when Capullo took over. When he took over duties on Wizard teaching how to draw it was great.
7:25 Dave Chapelle couldn’t have said it better
This issue taught me about race injustice and racism. I was 16 or 17 at the time and this is how I became politically active, and in time, I became an anarchist.
This was the issue that convinced me to cancel this book.
