Todd McFarlane To Write And Direct New SPAWN Movie

A Look Back At The First Issue Of The Walking Dead

From Image Comics

When was the last time you read The Walking Dead #1?

I originally read it back in 2003 shortly before it went to press, and while I remember liking it, I don’t think it occurred to me then just how good it was. When we received copies at the Image offices, I recall admiring how well the greytones printed and thinking that it was a sharp looking book, but at the time it was just one of several series we were debuting that October as a part of a new horror line. I was Image’s Director of Sales & Marketing at the time, and my primary concern at that point was making sure people knew it existed.

Reading it now, though, nearly 16 years later, it’s pretty much a perfect first issue.

Even if you haven’t read The Walking Dead, you probably know that it’s a series about mankind’s struggle for survival in a world overrun by the living dead—or as Robert Kirkman once put it, a “zombie movie that never ends.” What makes it different from zombie movies, though—and from the myriad other zombie comics released both before and after The Walking Dead—is that it’s actually less about the threat imposed by the zombie than it is about us. There is violence, and there is gore, and yes, there are literally thousands of zombies over the course of the series, but at its heart, The Walking Dead is about the good and bad in all of us, and our will to keep going, even in the most hopeless of situations.

If you have read The Walking Dead over the last 187 months that lead up to the series’ conclusion in today’s issue #193 (yes, the math is screwy), you probably have a sense of what the book is at its core, and the sacrifices that have been made for survival. What makes this series so great, though, and what makes its first issue so extraordinary, is that no matter what’s happened over the last 15 1/2 years, The Walking Dead #1 tells you everything you need to know about this horrifying new world in a mere 22 pages.

A quick summary of the first issue is perhaps in order:

Cynthiana, KY Police Officer Rick Grimes awakens from a coma following an injury sustained in the line of duty. The hospital is empty, and as he attempts to find someone to help him and explain what’s going on, he encounters a number of zombies—or “walkers,” as we come to know them over the course of the series. Fleeing the hospital, Grimes discovers the whole city is virtually deserted, but as he approaches his home neighborhood, he spots a disabled walker writhing in pain on the side of the road. The horror that has befallen the world hits Rick hard, but he pushes on.

Upon reaching his neighborhood, Rick's knocked unconscious by an unseen assailant, only to wake up a second time, in the home of Morgan Jones and his son Duane. Morgan feeds Rick and explains that Duane whacked him with a shovel because he thought he was a walker—noting that the quickest way to stop a walker is a blow the head. Morgan shares as much information about the state of the world as he can, but the truth is, no one knows what happened. People were directed to make their ways to larger cities for protection, but Morgan felt like staying in a small town was safer. Rick explains that he’s looking for his wife and son, and he hopes they went to join his in-laws in Atlanta.

After this exchange, Rick takes Morgan and Duane to the police station, where they stock up on weapons and grab a couple vehicles. Morgan expresses concern over taking a police car, but Rick files the loaner under “protect and serve”—Morgan and Duane are going to need the car to survive; they just need to return it back when things “get back to normal.” As they’re leaving, a walker approaches outside the fence surrounding the compound. Rick prepares to shoot, but Morgan cautions him against doing so—he may need the bullet later, and the sound of the gunshot may attract more walkers.

After Rick parts ways with Morgan and Duane and begins the drive to Atlanta, he passes the spot where he saw the disabled walker earlier in the day. The walker is still in the same spot, twisting in agony. Realizing the walker is essentially trapped in this spot forever, Rick mercifully opts to ends its suffering with a quick shot to the head. As “life” fades from the walker’s eyes, Rick is overcome with emotion, but he wipes his eyes, gets back into his car and drives on into the night.

I’m not doing that justice—you’re better off just reading the comic—but if you’re wondering what makes all that so perfect, it’s simple. The Walking Dead #1 is the beginning of the series, but it also works just fine on its own. Rick’s clearly beginning a long journey into a harrowing new world, but even if you never read another issue, these 22 pages form a good story in their own right. Better still, the story is compelling enough that it leaves the reader wanting more.

On the surface, that’s an unremarkable achievement, because historically, that’s how comic books are supposed to work: The characters are introduced, and their situation is clearly established. Conflict is introduced, suspense is built, the story reaches a climax, and we have a resolution.

Even as far back as 2003, though, our medium had somehow lost touch with the nuts and bolts of how the best episodic fiction worked, and developed storytelling habits that were geared less toward sustaining interest in monthly comics than they were with selling readers graphic novels on a kind of installment plan.

Robert Kirkman understood, however, that if THE WALKING DEAD was ever going to be collected as a graphic novel, then it had to succeed as a monthly comic. He knew he had to hook people with his first issue, just like showrunners for television shows seek to hook first studio executives and then viewers with a pilot. It’s not rocket science, but it’s something comics have become remarkably bad at over the years as our industry bristles at the “restraints” placed on comics by the monthly format.

In capable hands, though, the monthly format is merely a challenge and not a restraint. THE WALKING DEAD—one of comics’ greatest success stories over the years since its debut, is proof positive of that, not just because it began with an excellent first issue or because Robert understood basic storytelling rules, but because every issue was an invitation to come back for more.

So, whether you’re mourning the series’ conclusion with today’s issue, or you’re one of the holdouts who has spent a decade and a half resolutely refusing to give THE WALKING DEAD a try, I highly recommend finding a copy of the first issue and giving it a read.

Even if you’ve read it before, I think you’ll find yourself wanting to dive right into the next issue and then the next after that, and if you’re unfamiliar with the adventures of Rick Grimes, his family, and his friends, I think you’ll find there’s much, much more to THE WALKING DEAD than just people fighting zombies. - Eric Stephenson

Todd McFarlane Set To Draw Upcoming Spawn #301

From Image Comics

With its 301st issue, Todd McFarlane’s SPAWN becomes the longest running creator-owned comic book in the world!

SPAWN launched to record sales of 1.7 million copies when its inaugural issue was released in 1992, helping to cement the early days of Image Comics as a game-changing, new era in creator-owned comic books. Now, 27-years later SPAWN, and Image Comics remain hallmarks of the comic book industry.

As a testament to the longevity of Todd McFarlane’s seminal creation, and to Image Comics’ revolutionary call for creators’ rights to own and control the characters and comic books they create, SPAWN’s 301st issue will be a truly historic release, as McFarlane’s award-winning, fan-favorite superhero, will become the longest running creator-owned comic book ever.

"I could think of no better reason to return to the drawing board than to celebrate the record-breaking 301st issue of the SPAWN comic,” said McFarlane, creator of SPAWN and President at Image Comics. “Twenty-seven years ago, I began this journey on the SPAWN title. That start, along with helping to co-found Image Comics, (today the third largest comic publisher in the nation) was with the goal of allowing creative people to own and control their ideas.

“It is with great pride that I can say that after nearly three decades of producing the SPAWN title, that I am still 100% in the creative driver's seat of the character I brought to life back in 1992,” said McFarlane. “I wrote and drew that first issue and will do the same for this historic issue as well."

To continue the celebration that begins with the deluxe sized, 72-page issue of SPAWN #300, McFarlane will return, once more, to pencil and ink interior story pages for the record-breaking SPAWN #301. Showcasing his unique blend of larger-than-life action and visual world-building, McFarlane will usher in SPAWN’s next creative evolution in his signature “hyper-detailed” style that has been an inspiration to artists and storytellers across all genres of entertainment media.

Joining Todd on SPAWN #301’s superstar creative team will be legendary SPAWN and Batman artist, Greg Capullo, critically-acclaimed illustrator, Jason Shawn Alexander, top comic artists, Clayton Crain, Jerome Opeña and Francesco Mattina, along with more surprises, including more top-tier comic book talent.

SPAWN #301, a 48-page full-color comic book will be in stores September 25, 2019. Also available will be black and white Spawn #301 “Artist Edition” variant showcasing McFarlane and Capullo’s original, inked artwork.

This record-breaking, history-making, oversized issue will retail for $4.99.

The big news for SPAWN #300 is that award-winning artist, Greg Capullo (Batman), returns to illustrate SPAWN. Capullo first brought his talents to Image Comics' longest running title, with issue #16, leading to a visually-stunning run as the book’s featured artist, culminating in the hallmark 100th issue.

Following his seminal work on DC Comics’ iconic Batman, Capullo will be the main featured interior artist on SPAWN #300, alongside another major revelation...

For the first time since 1995, Todd McFarlane, one of the top-selling artists in comic book history, will return to pencil and ink interior artwork of the character he created during his high school days!

“I created SPAWN back when I was a teenager hoping to someday break into the comic book industry,” said Todd McFarlane, SPAWN creator, and President at Image Comics. “Now, over 40 years later, not only was I able to have a career drawing and writing comics, but SPAWN has been by my side for most of that journey. Even more exciting, SPAWN is becoming the longest running creator-owned comic in the world!

“The group of creative folks helping out on this historic SPAWN 300th issue is something that I hope thrills the ‘inner 15-year-old' in all of us. Plus, to have Greg Capullo come back to this title after so many long years, is what has me most excited as I personally consider him to be the top talent drawing in our industry today.”

The superstar creative team doesn’t end with Capullo and McFarlane. Current SPAWN artist, Jason Shawn Alexander, fan-favorite J. Scott Campbell (Danger Girl, Spider-Man), rising star Jerome Opeña (Uncanny X-Force, Seven to Eternity) and best-selling writer Scott Snyder (Batman, Metal, Wytches), all bring their talents aboard to help usher in SPAWN’s next grand evolution.

The birth of Image Comics in 1992 was an exciting time, but there are few moments I remember more vividly than getting my hands on the first issue of SPAWN,” said Eric Stephenson, Publisher & Chief Creative Officer at Image Comics. “Todd was already a comics superstar at that point—but SPAWN vibrated with an energy all its own and I think everybody knew it was destined not only to be a hit but to stand the test of time. The fact that we’re approaching issue 300 nearly 30 years later is a testament to its impact not just on Image, but the industry as a whole. Go, Todd!”

SPAWN #300, a 72-page full-color comic book, celebrating 27 years, and counting, of the hit independent series with an all-star lineup of comics creators, will be in stores August 29, 2019. The title will feature 12 covers by McFarlane, Capullo, Campbell, Opeña, and Alexander, including gorgeous black and white “Artist Edition” variants showcasing the original, inked artwork of both Capullo and McFarlane. This historic, oversized issue will retail for $7.99.
