Description: WILDSTORM FINE ARTS: SPOTLIGHT ON J. SCOTT CAMPBELL #1Near mint, 1st print J. Scott Campbell's talents have grown at an incredible pace since joining WildStorm in the early '90s. His Gen13 and Danger Girl runs were best sellers and his renowned abilities make him one of the most sought-after cover artists working today. Now some of Campbell's best and rarest covers and pinups are collected here, along with a selection of pencil reproductions, accompanied by commentary from the artist. Featuring a striking new cover by Campbell!After graduating from high school in Aurora, Colorado, Campbell began doing freelance commercial art jobs. As Campbell prepared to show his samples at the 1993 San Diego Comic Con, the series WildC.A.T.S premiered by Jim Lee's publishing studio, Wildstorm Productions (then called Homage Studios). One issue advertised a talent search for which readers could submit artwork, so Campbell put together a package that included a four-page WildC.A.T.S story and sent it in. A week and a half later, Jim Lee telephoned Campbell and asked him if he would move to San Diego to work for him. Initially working under the professional name Jeffrey Scott, Campbell's first comics work was two pinups for the Homage Studios Swimsuit Special in 1993. His subsquent work for Wildstorm includes spot illustrations in WildC.A.T.S Sourcebook. and Stormwatch #0.Campbell went on to co-create the teen superhero team Gen¹³, which debuted in Deathmate Black (September 1993), before going onto to star in their own five-issue miniseries in January 1994. The series was initially co-written by Brandon Choi and Jim Lee, but Campbell became a co-writer with issue #3. The team was eventually given their own regular ongoing series, which debuted in March 1995. Campbell was co-writer on the series until issue #18, and was the regular artist, leaving the book after issue #20 (June 1997).In 1998, Campbell, together with fellow comics artists Joe Madureira and Humberto Ramos, founded the Cliffhanger imprint as part of Wildstorm Productions. He launched his comic series Danger Girl through this imprint. The story, which followed the adventures of a group of female secret agents, made the most of Campbell's talents drawing well-endowed women and dramatic action sequences.The Danger Girl series has since generated a video game for the Sony PlayStation, as well as several comic spinoffs in the forms of limited series and one-shots that were drawn by different artists in the American comics industry. Most of these spin-offs featured story outlines from Campbell himself.In August 2005, Campbell published Wildsiderz, which he co-created with his Danger Girl writing partner Andy Hartnell. ‘Danger Girl’ Movie Draws ‘Truth or Dare’ Director Jeff Wadlow “Truth or Dare” director Jeff Wadlow has come on board to helm “Danger Girl,” an action-adventure for Constantin Film. Wadlow, who is in production on Sony’s “Fantasy Island” movie, will also perform rewrites on the script. Umair Aleem wrote the initial drafts, based on the female-team comic book series “Danger Girl,” created by J. Scott Campbell and Andy Hartnell. Shooting is expected to begin next year. “Danger Girl,” launched in 1988 and still being published with new issues by IDW, follows the adventures of Abbey Chase, who is reluctantly recruited into an all-female secret spy organization. Chase is then paired with operatives Sydney Savage, Natalia Kasstle and “Silicon Val” to locate a series of objects with destructive power and keep them out of the hands of the Hammer Syndicate. Producers describe Abbey Chase as one of the most iconic female comic book characters along with Captain Marvel, Black Widow, and Wonder Woman. Producers are Robert Kulzer of Constantin Film, Jeremy Bolt of JB Pictures, and Adrian Askarieh of Prime Universe Films. Executive producers are Constantin Film’s Martin Moszkowicz, along with J. Scott Campbell and Andy Hartnell.
