Overrated-artist-turned-abysmal-writer Todd McFarlane, formerly of way more wealth than he deserved, is now bankrupt after losing a $15M court battle.
McFarlane's inexplicable popularity in the early 1990s led to an overall decline in quality of comic books as publishers realized they didn't need good stories or art to sell comics, so much as variant covers and the promise of future collectibility. McFarlane's Spawn #1, worth $60 shortly after its initial release, is now less valuable than toilet paper. (And toilet paper is more interesting.)
Furdell.com laughs at Todd McFarlane's pain! Ho ho ho!
As much as I like the Schaenfrude, as an owner of Spawn #1 I must say I'm disappointed.
