Yesterday
Spawn creator, Todd McFarlane shared on his Facebook page some of his original
artwork from Spawn.
"It would have been EASIER to stick with Marvel Comics!!!!!!," McFarlane said with the shared images. "LIFE would have been far
easier to stick with drawing Spider-Man, collect a big check, fly to
conventions and act like a big shot. But instead, I turned my back on a sure
thing.... and perhaps for some, an UNATTAINABLE GOAL.
But I think that's the difference between entrepreneurs and employees. I think that entrepreneurs just JUMP OFF the cliff where employees usually ask the questions, "how high is the jump, will there be a soft landing...????" Neither is BETTER than the other- they're just DIFFERENT.
When I left Marvel... I JUMPED OFF THE CLIFF into the unknown to start
Image Comics and then McFarlane Toys. But I knew in that by following my heart,
I would be a better husband and father. No amount of money could be buy me
that!!!
I drew this Spawn promo piece the very same day I quit Marvel. This was the
FIRST full-fledged Spawn promo piece and the very FIRST piece that was ever
printed for the PUBLIC with Spawn on it. It's also the ONLY image of Spawn
drawn in 1991... all others were copyrighted in 1992. Moral of the
story....follow your passions, good people."
Other than Spawn only one other title continues to be published by Image
since 1992, and that is Savage Dragon.
