  In 2000, Brian Yuzna directed a film version, shot in Spain, called Faust: Love Of The Damned. It costars Jeffrey Combs (Re-Animator, various Star Trek series).

  Faust was one of the first Indie works I ran across that firmly planted itself in the "adults only" section of a comic shop. It's part of a weird sub-genre of comics, books, and games that goes so far out it's way to be dark and edgy that it renders the subject matter boring. It's a strange twist on that line from The Incredibles: When everything is shocking, eventually nothing is.

  I don’t  know if Faust influenced Spawn but Faust is exactly what Todd wanted to achieve as a “serious storyteller”

  Faust isn't really my style either and I haven't read it. But I respect the hell out of it, because the creators stuck with it and finished it. And man, Tim Vigil's artwork is really something.

  Based on how Faust has little demons hanging off his person like fashion accessories, I'd say Marc Silvestri HAD read the comic before he published his own serires, The Darkness.

  I genuinely believe that Spawn banked on the lack of knowledge of Faust. Most of us saw it behind comic counters out of reach. Its a clear rip off to me. <br><br>Tim Vigil&apos;s work does a crazy good job of straddling the line between p*rn and art. I find myself rereading it every now and again to attempt to find a conclusion. <br><br>Is it ridiculously edgy? Yes. Is it unnecessarily graphic? Yes. Is it what the creators wanted it to be? Yes.

  Dagnabbit! I was hoping for a 40 minute, extremely in-depth dissection... but I understand why you didn&apos;t. 👍🏼

  Red Letter Media covered the Faust movie and it&apos;s hilarious

  Tim Vigil is a hell of an artist, Grips and Faust were awesome. I still wish he did some more mainstream work.

  I remember thinking that given Faust&apos;s content he was a interesting choice to take over the writing for Dr Strange. Didn&apos;t work out very well, as I recall.

  Faust and spawn even the crow somewhat are just retellings of the 1700s German story of Faust. each with its own flare and inspiration. Faust is just also named after it.
