Adrian “Age” Scott — Oakland/Bay Area Comic Book Creator
Adrian “Age” Scott is a Bay Area-born comic book creator, cartoonist, educator, musician, and longtime advocate for the intersection of hip-hop and visual storytelling. For more than three decades, Scott has built an independent creative career rooted in comics, music, community, and youth education.
Scott is best known as the creator of Won & Phil, The Hip Hop Heroes, a pioneering comic series centered on Hip Hop inspired heroes. The series began when Scott was a young artist and evolved from his early underground comics into a socially conscious body of work addressing hip-hop culture, race, politics, identity, and the state of the music industry. His work has been described as one of the longest-running hip-hop comic projects, establishing Scott as an important figure in Bay Area underground comics.
His creative universe has expanded beyond Won & Phil to include projects such as SUPERHOOD, an urban superhero comic, as well as Tales of Hip Hop Horror: Thug Death, which he co-created with author and filmmaker Reyna Young. Scott has also created children's books, music, beats, videos, and other multimedia projects, consistently blending hip-hop culture with illustration and storytelling.
A major part of Scott's mission is education. He has worked as an art educator with young people, using creativity and comics as tools for expression and community engagement. His approach reflects his belief that hip-hop is more than music—it can be a vehicle for literature, visual art, social commentary, and cultural education.
Scott's comics have also developed a distinct Bay Area underground sensibility. Rather than simply reproducing traditional superhero formulas, his work uses cartooning to comment on contemporary culture and the communities around him. In an earlier interview, Scott described his comics as a way to give voice to issues affecting society and to use humor and storytelling to make serious ideas accessible.
In recent years, Scott's work has received broader recognition from the Bay Area comics community. The Cartoon Art Museum featured him in its Emerging Artist Showcase, highlighting his ongoing strip The Age Page and recognizing him as an artist, educator, activist, and “raptoonist.” The museum noted his longstanding presence in both the Bay Area comics and music scenes.
Today, Adrian “Age” Scott represents a unique intersection of Bay Area culture, independent comics, hip-hop, education, and community activism. His career demonstrates how an artist can build an independent creative world outside of the traditional comic-book industry while using comics as a platform for music, social commentary, humor, and cultural storytelling.
