Steve Rude
- Director
- Writer
- Animation Department
Steve, a lanky Wisconsinite nicknamed "The Dude" considers Jack Kirby
one of his biggest influences. To Kirby's streamlined dynamism, Steve
has added his own style of polish and attention to detail which has
made his work popular with fans. Nexus, an offbeat science fiction
superhero written and co-created with Mike Baron, remains his most
sustained and best-known work to date.
Steve has won much industry recognition, including the Russ Manning Newcomer Award in 1983, and two Will Eisner Awards for artistic excellence. Rude is one of the hardest working artists in the field, constantly striving to improve his work. Much of his practice, model sketches, exercises, and experiments with new techniques can be found in his legendary sketchbooks. His work here often surpasses other artists' finished efforts.
His most recent works include X-Men: Children of the Atom, Spiderman: Lifeline, and Thor: Godstorm, and The Moth.
