Rob Schrab

Rob Schrab was born Robby Christopher Schrab on November 12, 1969, in the United States. He is best known in comics as the creator of *Scud: The Disposable Assassin*, a series he wrote, drew, and lettered that debuted in 1994. His path into the industry began with that self-published title, which became a cult hit. Schrab’s artwork on *Scud* is marked by a kinetic, cartoony style that balances slapstick violence with heartfelt character moments. Beyond comics, he co-wrote the feature film *Monster House* and co-created both the competitive film festival Channel 101 and Comedy Central’s *The Sarah Silverman Program*, directing three seasons of the latter. His television directing credits also include *Community*, *Parks and Recreation*, and *Creepshow*. In comics, his signature work remains *Scud*, though he also contributed to *La Cosa Nostroid* and *Shi / Cyblade: The Battle for Independents*. Schrab’s later career has focused heavily on screenwriting and directing, but his legacy in independent comics is tied to the enduring popularity of *Scud*, which has been collected in omnibus editions. He has not received major comics industry awards, but his work has earned a devoted following for its offbeat humor and inventive world-building.
