Steve Scott (born March 19, 1968) is an American comic book creator. Since 1994 he has been working for a wide variety of publishers, most notably Marvel Comics and DC Comics.[1][2]

Career

Living in Biloxi, Mississippi, Steve Scott started sending his artwork to comic publishers in the early 1990's until the independent publisher Malibu Comics gave him his first big break as a professional comic artist in 1994 with Sludge, set in the Ultraverse.[3] Meanwhile he kept his daytime job as a firefighter.[1] In 1999 he got his first of many gigs at Marvel with Wolverine and in 2000 the first of many at DC Comics with Hourman. In 2001, for DC Comics, he contributed to the publication of historical collection 9–11: The Worlds Finest Comic Book: Writers & Artists Tell Stories to Remember to commemorate public servants.[4] His work was exhibited and archived at the Library of Congress.[1][5]

In 2007 Scott drew the panels for a five episodes tie-in animated on-screen comic book for season 6 of the television series Smallville, called Smallville Legends: Justice & Doom.[6][7] In 2008 George Lucas gave his personal approval for Scott to draw the comic Indiana Jones and the Tomb of the Gods. Lucas bought some of Scott's artwork for the Indiana Jones comic to exhibit them at Skywalker Ranch.[8] That same year Scott drew a ten page adaptation of the prologue of the Batman film The Dark Knight that was offered with the Special Blu-ray Giftset edition of Batman Begins. Film director Christopher Nolan oversaw and approved his artwork.[3][9]

Around 2010 for Cognito Comics Scott made the bulk of the covers of the interactive digital graphic novel CIA: Operation Ajax that tells the story of the 1953 Iranian coup d'état.[10] Around 2012 for Leviathan Games he provided artwork for the 3D digital comic editions of The Bane of Yoto.

In 2015 he illustrated the first two parts of Dark Fathom, the tie-in comic for the Hollywood film Independence Day: Resurgence.[11][12] In 2020 Scott worked for Cutaway Comics on the one-shot comic Eldrad Must Live, a spin-off of the British sci-fi Doctor Who.[13][14]

Personal life

Steve Scott was captain of a team of firemen in 2005 when Biloxi was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. His own house was destroyed by a drifting riverboat casino. While on duty he met with president George W. Bush who quoted him afterwards in a CNN interview that his house and car were gone but that his family was safe and that's all that mattered.[4]
