Honestly...this has plagued me for years. In an old issue of Nintendo Power (NES ones, probably back when they had bi-monthly issues) they listed a create a game type contest. The winner was J. Scott Campbell, a young nerdy looking guy with acne who created a game called Lockarm. The article featured some illustrations from his game book depicting his character designs. I remember being very impressed with them. Years later I started collecting comics and this hot new artist pops out of nowhere with this great style and created GEN13. Same guy? The have the same name, look a helluva lot alike, and though the style featured in Nintendo Power is dis-similar to Gen13's, it may not have been developed that way yet. Has anyone else ever noticed this? Please help me put this suspicion to rest!

Yes he was. There was even an anniversary issue, like a 20th anniversary or 300th issue dealio(two years ago or so), and they actually did an article about him and he did a special pull out poster for that issue.
