Todd McFarlane is bringing his personal archive directly to fans with the launch of a new recurring live series on Whatnot.com, beginning April 9, 2026. Airing twice monthly, the live shows will offer a direct look into decades of collectibles, comics, and memorabilia—many of which have not been available through traditional retail channels for years.
The first show will take place on Thursday, April 9 from 1:00-3:00 PM PST, with a second confirmed show for April 23. Going forward, live shows will be held every other Thursday, establishing an ongoing destination for fans and collectors to engage with McFarlane in real time.
Each show will feature items pulled directly from McFarlane’s personal archive, including rare comics and long-out-of-circulation merchandise such as t-shirts, posters, patches, buttons, playing cards, and more. Every item offered during the shows will be signed by Todd McFarlane and include a certificate of authenticity.
In addition to auctions, this series will provide fans with a more direct connection to McFarlane himself. Throughout each show, he will share stories from his career, respond to fan questions, and, when time permits, create live sketches that may be offered for auction during the show.
“I am looking forward to interacting with the fans and being able to come up with some interesting, and at times, one-of-a-kind items beyond just comic books for these auctions as well as doing some sketches here and there and sharing some of the proceeds with various charities. Let’s go!!” said Todd McFarlane, creator of Spawn and CEO of McFarlane Toys.
Each live show will also include giveaways, with one original sketch drawn live and awarded at the end of every show, along with additional comic giveaways throughout the broadcast.
“Access to Todd’s personal archive is a rare opportunity, and we’re excited to share it with the Whatnot community,” said Eric Shemtov, General Manager of Collectibles at Whatnot. “This series of live shows will connect fans directly to Todd as he tells the stories around the unique items he’s collected and created over the years, with a chance for those pieces to find new homes with fans.”
Future shows will expand into themed events, drawing from different areas of McFarlane’s collection—including CGC Signature Series books from his personal archive, action figures, and rare items pulled from the McFarlane Warehouse. Charity-focused streams and special events are also being considered as the series continues to grow.
Fans can follow Todd McFarlane’s official Whatnot channel to receive notifications when shows go live and to participate in upcoming auctions and giveaways.
