Work
Largely famous for being a prolific artist for Marvel Publishing, Young has perviously provided art for Hack/Slash from Devil's Due, Dark Stalkers & Street Fighter II from UDON and and issue of Birds of Prey Secret Files & Origins for DC Comics. His work therefore hasn't been exlcusive to Marvel, however he does have an extremely successful track record with them.
Skottie Young has also self-published two art books. 'B-Sides' and 'Junk' both contain non-published artwork including sketches and scrapped ideas. As they were self-published, they were only available for purchase over the internet.
Currently, he is still working with Marvel on the next in the Oz series of stories with Eric Shanower; the Marvelous Land of Oz. through his work on the Wizard of Oz, Skottie Young has been introduced to a long-forgotten demographic of comic book readers; children. Stating that he grew up with stories like Labyrinth, the Dark Cyrstal and the Neverending Story, Skottie Young has been inspired by the success of the Wizard of Oz (and impending fatherhood) to create his own story aimed at kids.
