Scott Shaw

Shaw was the initial artist photographed in his studio for The Artist Within: Portraits of Cartoonists, Comic Book Artists, Animators and Others by photographer Greg Preston, published by Dark Horse Books in 2007. Shaw is credited by Preston with suggesting the idea for the project.

He and Roy Thomas co-created Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew! which first appeared in a special insert in The New Teen Titans #16 (Feb. 1982), followed by a series published from 1982 to 1983.

Shaw was a recipient of the Inkpot Award in 1980 from San Diego Comic-Con.

Shaw began selling his artwork while still in his teens after choosing a career as a cartoonist. Throughout the 1970s, he contributed numerous stories to various underground comix. He also found work as an inker and then as a writer and penciller for a line of Hanna-Barbera comics which were originally published by Marvel Comics. Eventually, in 1978, he was hired to the Hanna-Barbera staff and became layout supervisor and character designer on NBC's The New Fred and Barney Show (starring the Flintstones) Saturday morning cartoon series. Shaw's first published work appeared in the underground comic book, Gory Stories Quarterly,

He co-founded Comic-Con International San Diego in 1970 by Shel Dorf, Richard Alf, Ken Krueger, Mike Towry, Barry Alfonso, Bob Sourk and Greg Bear.
