Lol. Hey Tom. I hate to call you out, but I have to correct on one of your comments. There are currently 3 graded copies of the Previews with Spawn on the CGC census. Including mine. I sent it in for the Mcfarlane signing last year and it came back in a massive slab..... 😂😂😂

Todd is smart by keeping his book at $2.99. At $2.99 I buy all 3 covers every month where other books I really like that tend to cost $3.99 and $4.99 and I am less likely to buy multiple covers unless they are really appealing. But as far as spawn goes, it's all 3 covers no matter what, every month!

I have to agree with this, when I came back to collecting I went heavily weighted towards DC rebirth just due to Marvel Titles were 3.99 ea, and prior to my collecting break I was mostly a Marvel collector, now they are all 3.99 so my subs are more weighted towards marvel and I ditched a few DC titles. 2.99 per would make me buy quite a lot more subs :)

This is great! Spawn #1 is the first comic I ever bought with my own loot. My parents whooped my arse for riding my bike with a buddy to the Sears Department store WAY down the road in Chicago to go read the comics on the second floor. It blew my mind so much so that I spent my candy loot to get the issue. Worth the whoopin'. I still have the book, 25 years later. Good times.

Todd nailed it when he mentioned the price hikes throughout the years. When I started collecting funny books 35+ years ago it urked me to no end everytime there was a price increase. As a kid with very little money, I had to make that decision as to what titles to stick with...UXM, ASM were the ones I chose. And at the time my only source of income was recycling cans. Good thing we lived near some bars. I'm just rambling on, but I did have the opportunity to meet Todd at a convention years ago. Too bad he didn't have time to chat with the fans as there was a long line waiting to see him.

I've always loved Mcfarlane's artwork going back to his days with Marvel. His depictions of Hobgoblin are my favorite of that character. But I have to admit he kind of soured on me after that legal battle with Gaiman over the rights to Angela, it seemed like he had become the very thing that he started up Image to get away from. Hearing him say "greed's not a good thing" almost comes across as being a bit hypocritical, or at least disingenuous. But I don't know the guy well enough to say for certain, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and hope that maybe he's grown from that ordeal and I could very well be way off base. Good interview, I look forward to more.

This was a great interview TOM. TODD is a great guy. I was a lapsed reader of SPAWN. The fact that he took it to 300 issues got me interested enough to pick it up. I like the art and the writing. I was shocked that the book only cost $2.99 as well. This price point also encourages me to buy all three of the covers as well. If he had re-numbered the series over and over I would never have picked it up to give it a chance. The other publishers just don't get it. Yes, number ones get that big bump but it never last in most cases. If I was starting out in the hobby now seeing a comic with a high number would cause me to check it out. Low numbers not so much. Higher numbers means to me that this is something to look into due to it's longevity. More videos like this please.

It picks up in time, a product, when you persevere with it and it gradually gets better known. If the quality is there, and it remains true to its core idea, it gradually usually increases its audience. Some comic properties disappear for a while, but they usually return down the road a bit. Normally, if the producers of the work care a lot about their product, life will honour this and bless the product.
