Product Description
Few men have left their mark on modern pop culture quite like Todd McFarlane. After a wildly popular run on Spider-Man, even holding the single comic sales record at one point, he went on to create the multimedia explosion known as Spawn. Through numerous projects over the years with his character, including a hit movie and video game, McFarlane has reached levels few others in the comic book medium have.
Amazon.com Review
With his dynamic, near-contortionist figures and funky webbing, Todd McFarlane defined an era of Spider-Man art as Steve Ditko and John Romita did before him. Spider-Man Visionaries, Vol. 1: Todd McFarlane collects Amazing Spider-Man issues 298-305, in which Peter and Mary Jane are enjoying married life, and Spidey's still swinging in his black costume facing off against the Prowler, Silver Sable, and a handful of throwaway villains. But issue 300 is the payoff, introducing Spidey's most enduring post-Lee/Ditko foe, and one of the scariest villains ever: Venom, a byproduct of Peter's Daily Bugle rival Eddie Brock and the alien symbiote that formed Spidey's original black costume. Somewhat confusingly, this volume is followed by Spider-Man Legends, Vol. 2: Todd McFarlane. --David Horiuchi
