SYFY’s newest profile documentary, Todd McFarlane: Like Hell I Won’t, centers on the iconic comic book creator, who co-founded Image Comics and is the mastermind behind the Spawn character and McFarlane Toys.
The documentary, which premieres on SYFY on Saturday, July 25, “gives viewers a peek behind the curtain into Todd’s creative process of bringing Spider-Man & Spawn to life. Revealing his motivations & inspirations, it illustrates his struggle to navigate and upend the status quo in the comics & toy industries,” according to SYFY. IGN can officially reveal a clip where McFarlane shares a personal story about how Spawn’s origin story is influenced by his own life experiences.
