Product Description:
After a wildly popular run on Spider-Man, Todd McFarlane held the single-comic sales record. He then went on to create the multimedia explosion known as Spawn. Now, see how it all began.
Amazon.com Review:
With his dynamic, near-contortionist figures and funky webbing, Todd McFarlane defined an era of Spider-Man art as Steve Ditko and John Romita did before him. Spider-Man Visionaries, Vol. 1: Todd McFarlane collects Amazing Spider-Man issues 298-305, in which Peter and Mary Jane are enjoying married life, and Spidey's still swinging in his black costume facing off against the Prowler, Silver Sable, and a handful of throwaway villains. But issue 300 is the payoff, introducing Spidey's most enduring post-Lee/Ditko foe, and one of the scariest villains ever: Venom, a byproduct of Peter's Daily Bugle rival Eddie Brock and the alien symbiote that formed Spidey's original black costume. Somewhat confusingly, this volume is followed by Spider-Man Legends, Vol. 2: Todd McFarlane. --David Horiuchi

This review covers all 3 volumes of SPIDER-MAN VISIONARIES: TODD MCFARLANE, in order to let potential purchasers know what they're in for. These books collect issues 298 - 323, 325, 328, and Annual #10 of The Amazing Spider-Man. First off, in the past, I have voiced my disdain for Marvel's issuing "Visionaries" based solely on an artist rather than writer or writer/artist, and this is one of the prime examples. I think Marvel did writer David Michelinie a real disservice by listing McFarlane as ... Read More

This is a compilation of Todd McFarlane's early works for Spiderman. Although his distinctive style is already pretty evident here, there's still something innocent and naive with the way he portrays he characters, unlike the tormented figures you see in Spawn and McFarlane Toys. As a collection, it's a hodge-podge, there's no clear story arc and time hasn't been kind to David Michelinie's writing style (unlike Frank Miller -- his early Daredevil work still packs a punch and is still fresh even if ...

this was the first spidy book i ever bought.i thought i'd check it out because of the movie and because i am a mcfarlane fan.at least he didn't let me down,the art was fantastic!i loved the way he drew marry jane,a gorgious comic babe.the rest of the book was like the movie,to much talk and not enough action.at least the movie had a great villian,something this book missed.
i dont even know how to give a discription of the story because it was jumping around all the time and had no real plot.i ... Read More

The art in these issues is quite good, but i remeber this period as the beginning of the wallcrawler's slide from the charmed period of the seventies and early/mid 80s. It's not macFarlane's fault--he is a visionary artist (although I was much more impressed by his work on the Hulk), but Michelinie's stories are pretty weak, compared to the glory days of Stan Lee, Gerry Conway (especially!), Len Wein, Marv Wolfman, Roger Stern &Tom DeFalco. I mean, what the hell happened in these issues anyway? Mary ... Read More

McFarlane's work on Amazing Spiderman was well-received by fans when these comic came out. He updated the visual tricks you could use in a Spiderman story, with funky webbing and a more dynamic page structure. Now, ten years later, these techniques still stand up well, though the work looks a little dated. But these are fun stories, and well worth the money.
