]] '' #1]] Shawn McManus (born June 30 , 1958 in Brookline, Massachusetts) is an American Artist who entered the Comic Book field in the early 1980s. McManus first gained attention when he illustrated two 1980s issues of '''' for Neil Gaiman 's '' The Sandman '', and his other Sandman credits include ''The Sandman Presents: Taller Tales'', ''The Sandman Presents: Thessaly, Witch for Hire'', ''The Sandman: Fables & Reflections''. Other Vertigo titles by McManus include ''Winter's Edge'' 3. His work on the '' Tom Strong '' series (America's Best Comics) includes ''Tom Strong's Terrific Tales'' 2 and ''Tom Strong'' 3. His story "Jenny Panic & the Bible of Dreams", scripted by Steve Aylett , was collected in the hardback ''Tom Strong Collected Edition'', Book Five, edited by Scott Dunbier . For the June 1983 issue of '' Heavy Metal '' he collaborated with Bhob Stewart and John Coffey on ''Zenobia''. Six months later, McManus and Stewart teamed with Jim McDermott on "Symbiosis", also in ''Heavy Metal'' (December, 1983). McManus' artwork for Marvel Comics includes ''Peter Parker Spider-Man Annual '97'' (1997) and ''Daredevil'' #351. In an interview with Kuljit Mithra, John Rozum, who scripted that issue of ''Daredevil'', recalled, "I thought Shawn McManus's art was great. I'd like to work with him again sometime, though we didn't really work together here. At the time I wrote it, I had no idea who'd be drawing it. Shawn and I have never even met or spoken with each other. I always write full script though, and unlike some other artists, Shawn actually pays attention to the script. I think his artwork was a nice pairing with the story." McManus has contributed to titles from a variety of other publishers, including ''), First Comics ('' GrimJack ''), Image ('' Supreme ''), Malibu ('' The Man Called A-X '') and DC 's Paradox Press (''The Big Book of Freaks''). More recently, he has worked on Leah Moore and John Reppion 's '' Wild Girl '' ( Wildstorm , 2004-2005) with J.H. Williams III , about 13-year-old Rosa Torez who discovers that she can communicate with animals. At least one issue was inked by Andrew Pepoy, but for some issues McManus did all the penciling and inking. In animation, he worked in 1987 on the series '' Dinosaucers ''. His art earned him a nomination, with Alan Moore , for a 1985 Jack Kirby award for Swamp Thing 32, an inventive science fictional reinterpretation of Walt Kelly 's Pogo ''. EXTERNAL LINKS
