Career
Young moved from Tennessee to Chicago in 2000 at which time he began working for Marvel Comics. Early projects included illustrating the Spider-Man Legend of the Spider Clan mini-series as part of the Marvel Mangaverse as well as the Human Torch and the New X-Men for which he also wrote an issue.
Young illustrated a six issue New Warriors mini-series released beginning in June 2005, written by Zeb Wells featuring the team as the stars of a reality TV show.
He has drawn covers for many books including Cable & Deadpool, Spider-Man, Deadpool and Iron Man along with a popular series of Baby Variant covers for dozens of Marvel titles
He has gained critical acclaim for his work on the New York Times Best Selling and Eisner Award winning series The Wonderful Wizard of Oz published by Marvel Comics. The follow-up graphic novel The Marvelous Land of Oz also made the New York Times Best Sellers List. Young has continued to collaborate with writer Eric Shanower to adapt the third and fourth books in the Oz series Ozma of Oz and Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz respectively. He and Shanower are set to adapt the fifth book in the series, The Road to Oz.
In February 2014, MTV News conducted an exclusive interview with Young and announced that he would begin work on a new Rocket Raccoon solo series for Marvel Comics. Slated to begin in July 2014, Young will be taking on his first ongoing series serving in both the writing and artist duties. Though the series precedes the release of the Marvel Studios film Guardians of the Galaxy, there has been no specific mandate to follow the path of the movie according to Marvel Editor Sana Amanat. Young, speaking about Rocket's first ongoing series, has been quoted as saying "I think it's going to have a connection to that nostalgic feeling for 'Looney Tunes,' that old animated flavor where everything wasn't squeaky clean, you know? Daffy Duck would get his bill blasted off with double barrel shotguns... That's what I grew up watching, and being able to play around with that in this hyper-superhero intergalactic universe will be a lot of fun."
Personal life
Young currently lives in Dunlap, Illinois with his wife, Casey McCauley and their two children.
