The Art of Being Spawn tells the story of three characters: artist and
comic book mogul Todd McFarlane, his anti-hero Spawn, and the man that character
was based on: the real-life Al Simmons. Told from Al's perspective, and
peppered with exclusive interviews with McFarlane himself, the story is 20 plus
years in the making. It recounts a friendship that started in a Kamloops, Canada
dugout, Todd's years at DC and Marvel, the rise, fall and rebirth of the
McFarlane companies empire and the lives of the three men at the center of it
all.
This is the real story of Al Simmons, the man behind the mask of
Spawn. Simmons' love of baseball and fate connected him with Spawn creator,Todd
McFarlane, and now, in The Art of Being Spawn, they reveal insights into their
lives and the paths that led them on an unforgettable journey.
