#spawncomics

Just your friendly daily reminder that Venom was created by the same guy who made Spawn back in the 90's, Todd McFarlane. Makes a lot of sense when you think about it, especially with how they're designed.

And believe it or not, Todd McFarlane is also one of the most influential comic artists in the industry, and he's one the of reasons that Spidy's webs are drawn with so much detail, and one of the reasons (at least I'm sure he was) why Spidy tends to be drawn and even animated so flexibly when he's web swinging.

Many Spider-Man comics especially once drawn by Todd McFarlane himself before he left Marvel, the Spider-Man games by Insomniac Games and Spider-Man 2003, and I would even say the Spider-verse movies, and are very good examples of that.

He's also one of the reasons Image Comics exists, leaving Marvel with a bunch of other people to from the company and making very edgy and dark and violent comic books that were very popular and beloved in 90's. I'm giving a very simplified version of the story though, feel free to look up history of the subject yourselves if you feel like it. I'm just being a silly little fangirl and artist who wanted to post about one of my favorite artists and facts about three of my favorite characters as well.

I believe Ford has found his idol and kindred spirit.
