 | | Awesome was launched in 1992 as part of a comic book revolution, when the seven top-selling Marvel artists made headlines by defecting en masse from Marvel Comics to creator-friendly Malibu Comics, known for its innovative marketing and broad, effective distribution. |
 | | In a unique new arrangement, the artists—Erik Larsen, Jim Lee, Rob Liefeld, Todd McFarlane, Whilce Portacio, Marc Silvestri, and Jim Valentino—formed Image Comics, a partnership of several different studios, including Rob Liefeld's Extreme Studios, Mark Silvestri's Top Cow Productions, Todd McFarlane Productions, and Jim Lee's Wildstorm Studios (recently acquired by DC Comics). |
 | | Image's comics were distributed by Malibu while Image got up and running as its own company. |
