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.

Erik LarsenLegend

Cartoonist, Comic Artist, Writer

Larsen draws with a cartoonist's looseness and a superfan's affection for old Marvel. He followed McFarlane onto Amazing Spider-Man, then co-founded Image and has written and drawn Savage Dragon almost single-handedly ever since.

Greg CapulloMajor

Comic Artist, Cover Artist, Penciller

Capullo builds bodies like a sculptor and faces that carry real dread. A long run on Spawn led into his Batman work with Scott Snyder, from Court of Owls through Dark Nights: Metal, which set how Gotham looked for a decade.

Marc Silvestri

Marc SilvestriLegend

Comic Artist, Inker, Penciller

Silvestri draws in sharp angles, whipping hair and tense wiry anatomy, a look that defined a stretch of Uncanny X-Men and Wolverine. He co-founded Image Comics and built Top Cow, home to Witchblade, Cyberforce and The Darkness.

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.

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.
