In the late 80's Todd McFarlane made his way on to the scene with his run on Amazing Spider-man and then sifted his fame to Image comics in 1992 with Spawn. Twenty years and 200 issues of Spawn later and Todd is still rolling hard. Not only does he still create and work on comics (Spawn and Haunt), he also has a hugely successful toy line. To add to his success, Spawn was made into a Cartoon and major motion picture.
Todd's Spawn and Eric Larsen's Savage Dragon are the only two titles left from Image's original titles. Spawn has gone through some changes through the years but McFarlane still stays true to his original creation. The quality of the book has never suffered despite changes through out the 200+ issues and McFarlane has never "Re-booted" or a remade Spawn.
Creators come and go...comics get canceled...Lines get re-booted..But Todd and Spawn keep climbing.
