Awesome artwork. I'm so looking fwd to both of these. BWS is just about the only comics artist whose Conan I enjoy reading. And Spawn. Well, the only Spawn I ever enjoyed was the original Spawn Dark Ages.
The three (well, 4, if you count one inker) Conan artists for me are the classic triumvirate, Frazetta, BWS and Buscema (preferably with Alcala inking). I’ve tried to capture something of all of them in my Conan stuff. Not easy! :-)
There’s another post that’s more specifically about getting into comics and publishing, but as far as process goes, the course is the best, and very reasonably priced! :-)
These look amazing. Love all the detail. Neither of these have solicited yet right? I try to keep an eye out for previews and have not seen them. I just want to be sure I get it in to my local store.
Thank you! And yes, you’re right - neither is solicited yet. But thankfully, since you are subscribed to this newsletter, you’ll hear directly when they are. :-)
Thanks, Gide! I think you'll find it bares very little resemblance to any regular Spawn title, as it stands very much alone, with the barest hint of any lore from the other titles. It's really an historic melodrama with a smattering of Celtic supernatural elements. :-)
There in't - yet! McFarlane and co like to have the whole book in the bag before they solicit it, and I still have an issue and a half to go. But hopefully we'll know soon! Cheers! :-)

Man, that is some incredible artwork. Dude, you have some serious Barry Smith vibes going on.
Appreciated, Alan! BWS has been an influence for as long as I can remember...
Your ink work is INCREDIBLE! Do you have any advice for a fledgling artist?
Thank you!!! 🙏 Very kind.
My best advice is embedded in my course - https://open.substack.com/pub/liamsharp/p/world-building-course?r=2587zq&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Duuuuuude you are INSANELY talented. Can’t wait!
Thank you! 🙏
Doesn't look like a Spawn comic. Glad Todd's trying different approaches to his creation. Wonderful.
Thank you! It's a unique take on the material for sure. :-)
This is an overwhelming post!! Just amazing!!
Much appreciated my friend! See you very soon! 😎🍻🍻🍻

Doing your own colors...I don't have words (except to say that I don't have words and whatever follows🤣🤣 ).
I am looking forward to giving prints of some of these a lovely home.
Bless you mate! Yes, I’ve been a one man show since The Green Lantern now. :-)
Egad, Liam. This is lovely stuff.I'm not into Spawn but I'll definitely be getting this.

Fantastic art, can't wait for both release!
Thank you! :-)
It would be an honor!
Mail us at info@sharpy.net, and let's try and figure out a time/date down the line... busy couple of months ahead though, so bear that in mind! :-)
It is insane to have that much talent! Great meeting you at the Frazetta-Conan panel Liam, would love to have you on my podcast!
You're too kind! And I DO need to get my act together on podcasts... I have a few chasing me! Got to improve my time management! :-)
Is there a release date set for this Spawn book?
There in't - yet! McFarlane and co like to have the whole book in the bag before they solicit it, and I still have an issue and a half to go. But hopefully we'll know soon! Cheers! :-)
Can’t wait!
