This story could be a Hollywood movie. *Reading Guide* Hawk & Dove: First Part of New Mutants: Second Part of New Mutants: Complete X-Force Run: Liefeld’s Captain America: Recent Work on Deadpool: Youngblood Appears to be out of print, so good luck finding it! McFarlane’s Run on Spider-Man as artist: McFarlane’s Relaunched Spider-Man: Spawn! As an amazon affiliate I earn from qualifying purchases.

I have tried to keep everything truthful, reliably sourced, and respectful to everyone involved. But, given the scope I’m sure I have made some mistakes, so please let me know in the comments and I will include them here. -I misheard McFarlane’s quote about Liefeld, sourced from The Comics Journal interview, but I believe it has the same meaning. *Sources and Further Viewing* Hawk & Dove Controversy In Depth: Very interesting video about the full story behind *that* Captain America Picture: (This channel also has a video about Liefeld, but I don’t watch other creators’ videos on projects I’m working on, so hopefully it’s not the same as mine!) Many of the facts were sourced from Liefeld’s very good podcast Robservations. Please check it out. Where possible I tried to fact-check from non-Liefeld sources as well. Liefeld & McFarlane VHS: Lifeld & Stan Lee: Liefeld on Dennis Miller: Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous: 2019 Interview: Interview with Mark Millar: The Image Revolution covers much of the drama I barely got into: Much of the drama and McFarlane Quotes are from Issue 195 of the Comics Journal in which both McFarlane and Liefeld give extended interviews. Digital archives are available from Fantagraphics with a subscription. Other Sources & Further Reading:
