Comic book icon Todd McFarlane’s Homecoming at Calgary Expo

Comic book icon Todd McFarlane, known for creating the popular character Spawn, is feeling right at home at the Calgary Comics and Entertainment Expo. Despite spending more time in the States than in Canada, McFarlane says crossing the border feels like “a robe and slippers.”

Born in Calgary, McFarlane rose to fame in the comic book world in the late 1980s and early 1990s with his work on “The Amazing Spider-Man” and “Spider-Man” titles for Marvel Comics. He later co-founded Image Comics and launched his own character, Spawn, which has since become a multimedia sensation.

McFarlane, who is appearing at the Calgary Expo this weekend, is not only meeting fans and participating in panels but also sharing the stage with his dad for a special panel on Friday. This rare opportunity to see the comic book legend alongside his father is drawing in fans from far and wide.

Despite his rock star status in popular culture, McFarlane remains grounded in his roots, spending time with family and indulging in local favorites like Peters’ Drive-In. The chance to see him in his element, surrounded by loved ones and fans alike, is a unique experience for comic book enthusiasts.

Don’t miss the chance to catch Todd McFarlane at the Calgary Expo this weekend, where he’ll be sharing stories, signing autographs, and celebrating his Canadian heritage with fans old and new.
