"Todd McFarlane is expected to pay Neil Gaiman $382,000 (\u00C2\u00A3241,000) with interest following their Spawn lawsuit settlement. Documents have been released revealing that the Image Comics co-founder was ordered to put the amount into escrow during his 2008 bankruptcy case to offset any possible losses in the Gaiman suit.   Gaiman was recently awarded 50% of the rights to Angela and the Medieval Spawn, the characters he created with McFarlane in 1992, and Spawn #9, #26 and issues #1-3 of the Angela spinoff. &amp;quot;That simply says the escrow money has come out of escrow,&amp;quot; Gaiman said on Twitter. &amp;quot;I could have been paid none of it or ten times it.&amp;quot; In 2010, Gaiman was awarded a share in the profits made from Dark Ages Spawn, Domina and Tiffany, which a judge ruled were derivatives of the characters he had created. &amp;gt; Neil Gaiman backs &amp;#039;Spawn&amp;#039; settlement agreement &amp;gt; Todd McFarlane: &amp;#039;People only sue when there&amp;#039;s money on the table&amp;#039; Gaiman has said that all profits from the case will be given to charity. 20th Century Danny Boy has published the full document.
