Jeffery
Scott Campbell (born April 12, 1973) is an American comic book artist. He was
initially known professionally as Jeffery Scott, but is best known as J. Scott
Campbell.
Jeffery
Scott Campbell (known to his friends as "Scott") was born in East
Tawas, Michigan, though he has no memories of that city, as his family moved
when he was very young to the Denver, Colorado, which he regards as his home.
He has a younger sister, who is a digital architect, and a younger brother who
is a musician.
As a child,
Campbell was interested in cartoons, rather than comics. He first became
interested in comics when, as a teenager, he visited a friend's house, where
his friend showed him Uncanny X-Men Annual #10, which featured artwork by Art
Adams. Campbell, explains, "I immediately went nuts over the book. That
book had such detail. The art was fantastic. It just started me going. It just
turned me around. All of a sudden I wanted to do this, and I felt I
could." Campbell began collecting, purchasing books based on the art, not
the title, which he says made his collecting habits somewhat difficult at
times.
In 1989,
Campbell, then age fifteen, entered for and won an "Invent the Ultimate
Video Game" contest featured in the issue 6 of Nintendo's official
magazine, Nintendo Power, whereby submitted contest entries were to consist of
drawings and concepts for a video game.
