[quote name=\'clemon79\' date=\'May 24 2005, 08:38 PM\']A totally unknown (to most people, anyhow) pre-Spawn Todd McFarlane.
His true story was that had drawn (at the time, it may still be, I don't really follow comics anymore) the biggest selling issue of Amazing Spider-Man to date.
The kicker is, a year after this appearance, he would form Image Comics, start publishing Spawn, parlay that into a massive multimedia empire, and today has more money than God.
(His fake story, by the way, was that he was a cab driver who gave someone a ride home to New York from Vegas at the cost of $10,000.)

Sorry--didn't see this post before I posted my take in the Show Summaries board (thinking that's where a subject like this would've gone).
Mods, feel free to delete my post on the Show Summaries board since if I understand things correctly only mods can delete the first post of a thread.
While I'm on the subject, isn't McFarlane also notable for having bought some home run balls at auction?
