Steve Rude's career began in 1981 with his and co-creator Mike Baron's groundbreaking "Nexus" comic series.

This space saga catapulted Rude into the field of comics, where he became highly sought after by major publishers. During his first few years in the industry, Rude's efforts led to numerous awards, such as the Russ Manning Newcomer Award, the Kirby Award for best artist in 1986 and numerous Eisner's for artistic achievement. For over two decades, Rude has drawn hundreds of comic's greatest iconic heroes, and has galvanized the art world as a comic magazine artist and illustrator.

Steve is now working on his comic strip, Nexus. Set 500 years into the future, Nexus is an intergalactic hero who travels the galaxy, seeking to protect his people on their home planet, Ylum. SHOP NEW NEXUS TODAY

KICKSTARTER JULY 7-30

Set 500 years into the future, Nexus emerges as the last line of defense against the darkness that threatens to consume mankind. Horatio Hellpop, burdened with the weight of the Nexus title, finds himself trapped in a never-ending cycle of bloodshed. Chosen from birth by the ancient alien race known as The Merk, he is tasked with the solemn duty of executing mass murderers and restoring balance to a world teetering on the brink of oblivion.

Steve Rude once again returns with new Nexus stories from where the coming of Gourmando left off.
