The creator of the popular Spawn comic book series, Todd McFarlane is part tough businessman, part loving father, and part control freak, who squeezes his private sense of the balance between good and evil into the pages of graphic novels. Kenton Vaughan's revealing documentary combines interviews with McFarlane, as well as family, friends, and colleagues who paint a collective portrait of the artist as a pop icon, albeit one obsessed with his own magnificently violent fantasy world. Sure to appeal to the wide universe of fans of graphic novels and comic books, this is recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (T. Keogh)
