Great Scott! - Artist STEVE SCOTT Cracks the Whip on Indiana Jones and More

Dark Horse Comics is set to release Indiana Jones and The Tomb of the Gods in late June, one month after The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull comes to theaters. Writer Rob Williams and artist Steve Scott were chosen as the creative team for Dark Horse's first handling of the new license—and it looks like they've chosen well!

We've known Steve Scott for about a year now since the very first Atlanta Comics Expo back in 2007. After meeting him at the Con, we went back and took a look at some of his terrific past work. His skillful hand can be seen on books like Razor, New Warriors, Shadowpact, Creeper and Legends of the Dark Knight. Plus, currently on Marvel Adventures, episodes of the hit TV show, Smallville and of course, the upcoming Indy series.

Chatting with Steve in passing, two things stand out about him—he prides himself on good storytelling and he works harder than your average to meet all of his deadlines. Sometimes surviving on only three hours of sleep or staying up for 48 hours straight. Or even buying coffee by the keg (OK, we're exaggerating on that last part, but you get it).

At any rate, there's a reason why Steve's pal, inker Nathan Massengill, refers to him as the night walker and the day walker. We're just happy the guy had an hour to spare to talk with us period.

Our conversation with Scott covers his early days growing up in Gulf Port and Biloxi, Mississippi, his first exposure to comics, breaking into the biz by way of firefighting, and his exodus and return to comics after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. He also tells us about he and his wife Sharon's adventures on The Dr. Phil Show (yes, that Dr. Phil) and how he's recently gotten to know comics great, Gene Colan.

Steve's a true Southern gentleman and a heck of an artist, and it was a pleasure speaking with him.

Indiana Jones and The Tomb of the Gods hits comic shops everywhere June 25th—go check him out!
