Todd McFarlane is the Dave Mustaine of the comic book world. Music buffs will know that Dave Mustaine was a part of an early carnation of Metallica. Mustaine left/was kicked out of Metallica for being too bad-ass for a band known for their bad-assery (or so the story goes). Therefore, Mustaine started Megadeth. Todd MacFarlane started out as an artist at Marvel, where he was known for Spider-Mans spaghetti webs. Though he left Marvel over creative issues, where he felt too restricted for the quite commercial brand (though Marvel, too, were known for pushing the envelope). Therefore, McFarlane (not to be confused with Seth MacFarlane) took Jim Lee and created Image Comics, whos known for McFarlanes creation: Spawn.
