FIRST ANNOUNCED IN 2006, the latest meeting between DC’s Caped Crusader and Todd McFarlane’s Hellspawn has been a long time in the making. But with artist Greg Capullo having since spent around a decade illustrating some of the Dark Knight’s numerous titles after previously drawing Spawn for about eight years, the timing couldn’t be better for Batman/Spawn, McFarlane tells Red Alert.
“If we’d done it back then, that was pre Greg doing any Batman artwork, and since then he’s made an indelible mark on the character. For a new generation of comic collectors,a guy who has made his mark on both of those characters over time. So he’s not only the perfect artist, he’s also the only artist.”
