Page "Rob Liefeld" Paragraph 15

In June 1996, Marc Silvestri temporarily left Image with his Top Cow imprint, allegedly because of disputes with the other partners over Liefeld's status in the company.

Among the many accusations against Liefeld, which came to light in subsequently filed legal complaints, was the charge that Liefeld routinely used his check-writing powers to cover personal debts from Image funds.

Other dissatisfaction with Liefeld ranged from his alleged habit of copying art from other partners ' comics to his plans to move titles that had been established at Image to the non-Image Maximum Press.

Image Comics Executive Director Larry Marder is quoted as saying " He was making an increasing number of business decisions that were counterproductive to being a business partner ".
