Scot Eaton
Scot Eaton is a comic book artist, best known for his work on Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, X-Men: Endangered Species,[1] and X-Men: Messiah Complex.[2]
Beginnings
Scot was born and raised in Vermont. Scot's artistic talent became apparent in elementary school when he created detailed drawings of dinosaurs and comic characters like spider-man. His fascination grew exponentially with the release of Star Wars. He created endless sketches of Star wars characters throughout junior high and high school. He created educational illustrations for a local paper. He was always a soft spoken, and often withdrawn in person. He was however, always studious and focused in all of his endeavors. He began lifting weights seriously in junior high school, and gained enough muscle mass to later compete for the title of "Mr. Vermont". At his peak, he has bench pressed 500 lbs.
After high school graduation, he went on to college. In the early 1990s he started penciling "Doctor Fate" and "Swamp Thing" for DC comics from his apartment. He could be seen driving around in a Jeep with "Swamp" vanity plates. When asked what his biggest challenge was, he stated "Drawing regular people." He grew accustomed to drawing larger than life comic characters. It was more difficult to sketch everyday physiques and clothes.
He went on to draw Silver Surfer[3] and Thor for Marvel. He later broke away and started drawing for Crossgen after relocating to Florida. Eaton eventually split from Crossgen and returned to Vermont. His former apartment building had burned down completely.
