Todd McFarlaneLegend

Comic Artist, Publisher, Writer

McFarlane drew Spider-Man with impossible contortions, spaghetti webbing and a restless line that kept every page in motion. He walked away at the height of that success to co-found Image Comics, where Spawn became one of the best-selling creator-owned books ever published.

Ryan OttleyMajor

Comic Artist, Cover Artist, Penciller

Ottley draws fights that hurt, with bodies breaking and expressions holding nothing back. He drew most of Invincible's run before moving to Amazing Spider-Man and Hulk.

John Romita JrLegend

Artist, Comic Artist, Penciller

Romita builds figures from blocky, weighted shapes that land with real force. Across four decades he has drawn most of the Marvel line, from Amazing Spider-Man and Daredevil to Thor and Uncanny X-Men, plus Kick-Ass with Mark Millar and a run on Superman.

J. Scott CampbellMajor

Character Designer, Comic Artist, Cover Artist

Campbell draws with an animator's sense of pose and expression, all clean curves and confident line. Gen 13 and Danger Girl made his name in the nineties, and his variant covers have since become some of the most collected on the stands.

Rob LiefeldLegend

Comic Artist, Penciller, Writer

Liefeld's work is pure kinetic energy: extreme poses, heavy shoulders, everything at maximum. He drew New Mutants and launched X-Force at the peak of the nineties boom, co-created Deadpool and Cable, and co-founded Image Comics.

Humberto RamosMajor

Comic Artist, Cover Artist, Penciller

Ramos stretches anatomy the way animation does: long limbs, enormous expressions, motion pushed past what a body could actually do. It suits Spider-Man exactly, which is where he has spent much of the last two decades.
