Todd McFarlane Knihy

Kanadou se šíří zvěsti o vraždícím bigfootovi a počet mrtvých stoupá. Peter Parker se vydává na místo a hledá odpovědi. S pomocí divokého mutanta Wolverina se pouští do boje s prastarým nepřítelem. Pavoukovitý Avenger však netuší, jak nebezpečný umí mrazivý sever být...

Jako malý chlapec byl Bruce Wayne svědkem vraždy svých rodičů při nesmyslném násilí. Rozhodl se zasvětit svůj život boji se zločinem v Gothamu. Stal se z něj maskovaný mstitel – Batman. Dekorovaný voják Al Simmons zemřel v boji, ale dostal šanci, aby mohl znovu vidět svoji ženu. Za cenu vlastní duše... Simmons se poté znovuzrodil jako elitní válečník armády pekla – Spawn. Batman i Spawn dosud existovali v oddělených realitách a jejich bitvy se toho druhého netýkaly. Jenže Soví tribunál dal do pohybu plán, který má poštvat Temného rytíře proti Zplozenci pekla. Nezáleží na tom, kdo vyhraje. Obyvatelé Gothamu – a zřejmě i celé lidstvo – budou trpět, pokud naši hrdinové neprohlédnou intriky tribunálu a nespojí proti němu své síly.

Mezi mrakodrapy i skrz kanály, po celém New Yorku pronásleduje Spider-Man krvežíznivého maniaka, nebezpečnou bytost, která kdysi byla jeho přítelem. Jenže... na tom všem je něco hodně divné. Co pohání Lizarda a dělá z něj vraždící monstrum? Proč se Spideymu zjevují protivníci, kteří jsou už dávno mrtví... a v hlavě mu duní zvuk vzdálených bubnů? A především... dostane Spider-Man protivníka dřív, než jeho samého dostihne šílenství a smrt?

Novomanželé Petr Parker a Mary Jane si ještě nestačili zvyknout na manželský život, a už se na ně řítí čerstvá várka komplikací se společným jmenovatelem Spider-Manem. Ze všeho nejdřív Spidey spojí síly se Silver Sable a její skupinou pronásledující nácky zvanou Wild Pack, načež se zaplete do velkolepé loupeže, v níž hrají role Prowler a Black Fox. Jenže pak se objeví na scéně pomatený stalker, který unese Mary Jane...! Obsahuje komiksy Amazing Spider-Man č. 303-309.

Spider-Man se houpe mezi mrakodrapy na hedvábném vlákně a stráží město pod sebou. Ale ve stínech ulice se skrývá mstivý sok, který chce ke své pomstě zneužít jednoho z nejsmrtonosnějších síťomilových nepřátel. Bočními uličkami New York City se plíží postrach... a jeho jméno zní Lizard! Obsahuje komiksy Spider-Man č. 1-5 a 13-14.

Features art from original comic art boards, as well as art from the author's work on Batman, Spider-Man, and the Hulk (amongst many others), and his own top-selling creation, Spawn.

Der finstere Spidey-Bestseller vom Comic-Superstar der 90er. Todd McFarlane, bekannt für seine Arbeit an Spider-Man, revolutionierte das Erscheinungsbild amerikanischer Comics. In den 1990ern startete Marvel eine neue Spidey-Serie, die sich millionenfach verkaufte. In diesen düsteren Abenteuern trifft Spider-Man auf Wolverine, Morbius, Lizard, Ghost Rider und andere. Die Sammlung umfasst Spider-Man (1990) 1-14 & 16 sowie X-Force (1991) 4. Ende der 1980er und Anfang der 1990er prägten Künstler wie McFarlane, Jim Lee und Rob Liefeld das Erscheinungsbild amerikanischer Superhelden-Comics. McFarlane begeisterte mit dynamischen Posen, dem charakteristischen Spaghetti-Netz und einer Vielzahl an Action und Sexappeal. Zusammen mit David Michelinie brachte er Venom zum ersten Mal auf die Seiten. 1990 wurde die adjektivlose Comic-Serie Spider-Man ins Leben gerufen, die McFarlane schrieb und zeichnete. Das erste Heft verkaufte sich sensationell 2,5 Millionen Mal, eine beeindruckende Zahl für einen Spider-Man-Comic. McFarlane lieferte spektakuläres Artwork und packende Action. In seiner Serie kämpft Spider-Man gegen den brutalen Lizard, den Vampir Morbius und den Hobgoblin, und trifft auf die Antihelden Wolverine und Ghost Rider. Ein Crossover mit X-Force rundet diesen Sammelband ab, der von umfangreichem Bonusmaterial begleitet wird. Willkommen zurück in den 90ern!

1992 wurde eine der unvergesslichsten Figuren der Comic- Geschichte erstmals auf ein völlig unvorbereitetes Publikum losgelassen. Danach war nichts mehr, wie es vorher war. Todd McFarlanes Spawn war ein Held, wie es noch keinen gegeben hatte. Al Simmons, ein Agent der Regierung, war von einem Kollegen getötet worden. Nachdem er in den Tiefen der Hölle wieder zum Leben erweckt worden war, kehrte er als Spawn- Krieger auf die Erde zurück und beschützte fortan die Obdachlosen in den dunklen Gassen New Yorks – immer auf der Suche nach Spuren seiner Vergangenheit. Spawn kämpfte mit den dunklen Kräften, die ihn zurück zur Erde gebracht hatten, er wehrte sich gegen Feinde und fand dort Verbündete, wo er sie nie vermutet hätte. Allmählich lernte er, die außergewöhnlichen Kräfte zu bändigen, über die er nun verfügte, und gleichzeitig begann er zu begreifen, auf was er sich eingelassen hatte – und was er dafür aufgeben musste. Dies sind die Geschichten, mit denen alles begann, die Grundlage für die erfolgreichste Independent-Comic- Serie aller Zeiten. Doch in Spawn Origins 1 wird nicht nur Spawn eingeführt, sondern auch eine Reihe von denkwürdigen und gefährlichen Figuren, die die Serie zu dem gemacht haben, was sie heute ist

Was, wenn der gefährlichste Mann der Welt zugleich derjenige ist, der das meiste Gute bewirken könnte? Inmitten einer gewaltigen Katastrophe taucht er ohne Erinnerung auf – mit Kräften, die dem des göttlichen Erlösers gleichen. Doch wieso weiß er nicht, wer er ist oder woher er seine unglaubliche Macht hat? Und wie reagiert die zynische moderne Welt, wenn es plötzlich so aussieht, als wandle der Messias auf Erden? Das würde schließlich den religiösen und gesellschaftlichen Status quo komplett verändern. Schnell wird klar, dass die Grenzen zwischen Glaube und Wahrheit, Fluch und Segen sowie Held und Feind fließend sind… Der neue Comic-Hit von SPAWN-Erfinder und Comic-Legende Todd McFarlane, geschrieben von ihm und seinem langjährigen SPAWN-Co-Autor Brian Holguin und mit dem Artwork von SPIDER-MAN-Künstler und Digital-Maler Clayton Crain.

Doch Simmons weigert sich, zum Spielball im Konflikt zwischen Himmel und Hölle zu werden, der schon viel zu lange das Leben der Menschen in Mitleidenschaft zieht. Und als auch Wanda dieser ewigen Auseinandersetzung zum Opfer fällt, sieht Spawn rot. Er erklärt Himmel und Hölle den Krieg … In Spawn Deluxe 4 kehrt Haunt zurück! Eine von Todd McFarlanes geheimnisvollsten Figuren taucht wieder auf, als Spawn seine Armee für den Kampf gegen Himmel und Hölle aufstellt.
