Tom Scioli

Thomas Scioli is an American comic book artist and writer best known for working in a style similar to Jack Kirby. His epic sci-fi/fantasy series "The Myth of 8-Opus" won a 1999 Xeric Grant and attracted mild industry attention, earning him a small part illustrating the "Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Comic Magazine" miniseries (2001) and ultimately higher-profile projects at Image Comics: the miniseries "Freedom Force" (2005) and the ongoing super-sci-fi-opera epic "Gødland" (with writer Joe Casey). Scioli has stated that "Gødland" is "the best thing out there right now" and that he can imagine staying with the book for the rest of his career.

Scioli has attracted some criticism for the similarity between his art and Jack Kirby's, but he is comfortable with his style:

I'm working in the Kirby tradition ... No one else's art does for me what Kirby's does. Everything else looks limp and flat by comparison. He found a new way of doing things. I want to follow his lead. I think he found a way of drawing that is the optimal way of drawing for sci-fi comic book epic storytelling. ... It doesn't need to be correct or accurate, just cool-looking. [http://www.newsarama.com/general/Scioli/TomSciloi.html]

Scioli plans to collaborate with cartoonist Scott Mills for a new book called "Zombie Kamikaze".

Scioli was raised in Philadelphia and resides in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
