Highlights from Kickass ‘Spawn’ 25th Anniversary Art Show!
In the summer of 1992, 25 years ago this year, famed comic book artist Todd McFarlane shook up the industry when he unleashed his very own comic creation: SPAWN.
Fans have a whole lot to look forward to, it would seem, as McFarlane himself wrote and plans on directing a Spawn reboot for Blumhouse next year. Mind you, that project has been on the menu for several years now without ever actually being cooked up, but it’s worth noting that this iteration has progressed further than any others.
In any event, Burbank, California’s Hyaena Gallery is paying tribute to the 25th anniversary of Spawn with an art show that goes on display tonight, November 30. For the show, “25 artists pay tribute to 25 years of Todd McFarlane’s Spawn by doing their own Spawn comic cover art.”
Check out some highlights below and see more over on the Spawn 25 Tumblr page. You can also purchase select pieces of art over on the official Hyaena Gallery website.

‘Curse of the Where Wolf’ Bites Into August Release With Trio of Werewolf Theatrical Screenings [Exclusive Preview]
Larry Chaney‘s hairy misadventures are continuing in the sequel graphic novel Curse of the Where Wolf from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese, and Jack Morelli, and its author is celebrating with a trio of horror’s greatest werewolf films.
The Curse of the Where Wolf hits shelves on August 7 from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
That coincides with the launch of a theatrical screening event in Houston, Texas, featuring a trio of seminal werewolf flicks turning 45 this year: The Howling on August 7, Wolfen on August 14, and An American Werewolf in London on August 21.
Each screening features a “werewolf in film” presentation as well as a book signing from Where Wolf author and River Oaks Theatre artistic director Rob Saucedo.
In the new graphic novel, “Being a werewolf sucks. Reporter Larry Chaney wanted to be a hero. Instead, he became a werewolf. Now, caught between incredible new powers and a desire to eat everything (and everyone) in sight, Larry must find a cure for his curse. Or die trying.”
“With Where Wolf, I wanted to tell a whodunit set in a furry convention, so the story was pretty contained within a very specific setting and genre. With Curse of the Where Wolf, I wanted to celebrate everything I love about the possibility of comic books. Curse of the Where Wolf is a funny book, in every sense of the phrase, but it’s also an earnest look at a person’s struggle to become a better version of themselves, especially when the alternative is to become a literal monster,” Saucedo says of Curse.
The original graphic novel was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on Fangoria before being collected by Encyclopocalypse Publications in 2023 and has already been optioned for film, podcast, and television development ahead of launch by producers James Fino (“The Freak Brothers” for Tubi, “Rick and Morty” for Adult Swim) and Charles Horak (First Date for Magnolia Pictures).
Expect Larry to find himself in even weirder situations in the 362-page full color sequel; Saucedo has provided Bloody Disgusting with exclusive art pages from the upcoming graphic novel that showcase lupine humor.
