Read Johnny Saturn! Available Online or In Print!

About Me

My name is Scott Story, and I’m a freelance illustrator and cartoonist who lives in the Midwest. I’ve done album covers for bands, covers and interior illustrations for table-top role-playing games, advertising illustrations for large corporations, logos for individuals and businesses, graphics for websites, illustrations for magazines, and private commissions of all types. In the comic industry, I’ve done work for lots of publishers, including Image, Devil’s Due, Digital Webbing, Amp, Arrow, and many others.
My pride and joy so far is Johnny Saturn, a print and webcomic that I do all the art for, as well as co-write with my wife and creative partner, Benita Story. This site is intended to be a project blog for Johnny Saturn, as well as some of the other art I do. If you would like to learn more about me or my work, please go to the ‘links’ section of this page and go to my website, and there you will find a list of my clients and a large portfolio. And, by all means, check out Johnny Saturn!
Thanks! Scott Story
