Young is acclaimed as a comic book artist, author and creator of hundreds of popular collectible baby variant covers. He began his career with Marvel working on titles such as Spider-Man: Legend of the Spider Clan, Venom, and Human Torch. He later began adapting the New York Times Best Selling and Eisner Award winning series The Wonderful World of Oz, which was published by Marvel Comics. He then continued to illustrate for the children’s book Fortunately, the Milk. Since then, Young has co-created several popular series such as I Hate Fairyland, Middlewest, Bullywars and The Me You Love in the Dark. Currently, he’s working on the successful series Strange Academy for Marvel and Twig for Image Comics.

“Skottie has contributed to some of the most revolutionary work in the comic world and has changed the comic industry through his creativity,” said Brittany McManus, CGC Signature Series Director. “We are so pumped to have him back for another awesome signing, knowing some incredible books are coming our way!”
