J. Scott Campbell burst onto the comic scene with Gen¹³, co-created alongside writer Brandon Choi and WildStorm founder Jim Lee. Known for his dynamic figure work and stylish, expressive characters, Campbell became an instant fan favorite. His work on Gen¹³ launched a career that would lead to smash-hit titles like Danger Girl and a long-running relationship with Marvel producing iconic variant covers.
Campbell’s pencils defined the visual style of the late '90s and early 2000s and helped Gen¹³ stand apart from the superhero pack with a blend of youthful rebellion, superpowers, and slick storytelling.
Gen¹³ follows five teens—Caitlin Fairchild, Grunge, Roxy (Freefall), Burnout, and Rainmaker—who discover they have gen-active superpowers after escaping a covert government experiment. They become reluctant heroes, hunted by shadowy forces while trying to navigate young adulthood with explosive powers, sharp wit, and attitude to spare.
The series combines superhero action with irreverent humor, edgy style, and counter-culture flair—becoming a fan-favorite of the '90s comics boom.
