Sep E. Scott, born Septimus Edwin Scott in 1879, was a British painter, illustrator, and comics artist who signed his work with his distinctive initials. Active in the comics industry from 1948 until 1962, he is best known for his contributions to adventure and war-themed titles, particularly *Thriller Comics Library*, *Thriller Comics*, *War Picture Library*, and *Cowboy*, as well as the Danish series *Seriebiblioteket* and the British anthology *Knockout*. Over his career, he was credited as artist, colorist, inker, and writer on sixteen issues, demonstrating a versatile hand across multiple roles. Scott’s style, rooted in his fine-art training as a painter, brought a polished, illustrative quality to the rugged genres of war and western comics.

Scott died in 1965, leaving behind a body of work that helped define the look of mid-century British adventure comics. While major awards are not recorded for him, his steady output across key series of the era ensures his place in the history of UK comics illustration.
