The Canadian Comic Creator: Todd McFarlane Is Born
He was always the best artist in his class. When a teacher needed something drawn on the blackboard, they would call on little Todd McFarlane to help. McFarlane, however, never wanted to become what he is today: one of the most revered comic book and action figure creators in the world. Instead, McFarlane wanted to be a professional baseball player. But, when an injury crushed that dream, McFarlane used his natural talent in drawing to create a comic book empire. Today, McFarlane’s “Spawn” still stands as the most successful independent comic book ever, and his two companies, McFarlane Toys and Todd McFarlane Entertainment, continue to set new standards in the toy and film industries.

A Conversation With Comic Book Legend Jerry Robinson
On my blog Panel Surfing I endeavor to talk about the last true AMerican art form, the comic book, and especially original comic art.

A review of the book, Pitch Anything, by Oren Klaff
As President of the B2B demand generation company, Find New Customers, and a prolific blogger, I’m often invited to do book review. But after doing quite a few, one grows jaded a bit – so we ask tough questions. The two questions I ask every time I do a book review: Does the book bring fresh insights and perspective? Is the book well written and easy to read? Only a book that gets a “Yes” on both questions gets a 5 star review.
