Todd McFarlane is a legend in the comics industry. While he gained superstar status in the late '80s and early '90s drawing for "Batman: Year Two," "The Incredible Hulk," and "The Amazing Spider-Man" -- where he was the co-creator of popular supervillain Venom -- he is most well known among fans for his own creation: The anti-hero Spawn. 

For 27 years, the Spawn Universe has to come to life on the page, on the screen, in homes via collectible figures...and now, in the Guinness World Record books. With the release of SPAWN 301 on October 9th, 2019, McFarlane has broken the record of "Longest Running Creator-Owned Superhero Comic Book Series," and we've partnered with him on a SPAWN celebration of historic proportions: The first-ever SPAWN 301 signing!

On Saturday, October 26th, Todd McFarlane will be signing comics and memorabilia in the Alamo Chandler lobby from 12 - 5 p.m. This event is entirely FREE and open to the public; however, due to the large amount of fans expected, only one item per person will be signed. A special certificate authenticating the day's event will be given to all fans who receive a signature. While McFarlane will also take photos with fans during the signing, there will be a separate SPAWN-themed photo booth, as well as SPAWN original artwork from McFarlane's own personal collection.

For those dying to get a McFarlane original hand-drawn sketch, enter the SPAWN costume contest at 3 p.m.! Bring your best SPAWN-themed costume to impress the creator himself, and at 3:45 p.m., he will pick one lucky grand prize winner.

Special and limited edition Spawn merchandise will also be available for sale at a special tent in the parking lot outside, including Alamo Event Exclusive SPAWN 300 variant. From pins to t-shirts to lanyards and more, the SPAWN Merchandise program will also be available to commemorate this moment in history. Themed SPAWN food and beverages will also be available inside at our lobby bar.

Due to set-up time and limited parking, no line will be formed until 11 a.m. on October 26th, and signed items are limited to one per person. We want this event to be fair -- and fun! -- for all, so we can get as many people through the line to meet McFarlane as possible.

Guests are also encouraged to use LYFT, and the special code GWR301 will get anyone 10% off 2 rides to/from Alamo Chandler on the event date!

As an added bonus, we've also teamed up with McFarlane to feature the 1997 SPAWN film adaptation on Friday, October 25th, at 7:30 p.m. and after the Saturday, October 26th, event at 5:30 p.m. A commemorative SPAWN Comic poster will be handed out after each of the two SPAWN screenings. Seats are limited, so click here to buy your tickets now!
