Shawn McManus is an American artist who entered the comic book
field in the early 1980s with work for Heavy Metal and DC Comics.
McManus gained wider attention when he illustrated two 1980s
issues of Swamp Thing written by Alan Moore. He received a
nomination, with Alan Moore, for a 1985 Jack Kirby award for "Pog"
in Swamp Thing 32. The story, an inventive science fictional
reinterpretation of Walt Kelly's Pogo, was written by Moore
specifically for McManus, who rose to the challenge with an
appropriate Kellyesque art style.
Since then he has drawn issues of Omega Men, Batman, Doctor
Fate and a pair of limited series about the witch Thessaly written by
Bill Willingham.
