UNIQUE:
Todd McFarlane handled all creative duties for the Spider-Man #1–14 series (1990–1991): script, pencil, cover art, and inking. This was unusual, as in the comic book world these roles are usually shared among several artists. However, McFarlane wanted complete creative control, which resulted in a unique style and storytelling.
After his departure, Erik Larsen took over work on some of the songs, although he did not always write the scripts himself as McFarlane did.

BIO:
McFarlane's journey to creative autonomy began when he accepted a job as an artist for Marvel/Epic Comics in March 1984. From there, he worked his way up to become one of the team's top talents before leaving Marvel to co-found Image Comics with six other artists.

It was during this period that Todd introduced his own character: Spawn. The first issue of the comic book in 1992 sold a remarkable 1.7 million copies, an unprecedented achievement in the independent comic book world. From that point on, a period of explosive growth and expansion followed: more comics, action figures, films, animation, and the internet.

In 1994, Todd founded McFarlane Toys because he wanted to maintain maximum creative control over his Spawn character. Over the years, the company has grown into one of the largest and most renowned toy manufacturers in the world. In addition to Spawn, McFarlane Toys has also produced figures from franchises such as KISS, Shrek, X-Files, Austin Powers, Metal Gear Solid, Clive Barker, Akira, The Beatles, Army of Darkness, Jaws, Rob Zombie, Alien, Predator, AC/DC, and dozens of others.
