Here and Now: Todd McFarlane
Todd McFarlane drew acclaim as an illustrator for Marvel and DC Comics. But he did something unheard of when he set out on his own in 1992 to create his own comic book series and company. McFarlane created Spawn, which lead to a feature movie and animated series. McFarlane also turned his attention to action figures, making replicas of rock and roll bands and now has contracts with all four major leagues sports making detailed real-life figures.
McFarlane drew attention in 1998, when he bought key home run baseballs hit by Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire. Little did many people know that McFarlane was an aspiring baseball player who had his dreams dashed due to an injury he suffered playing college baseball.
