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.

Noted by one reviewer as “the world’s greatest living comic book artist”, Steve Rude currently produces and publishes Nexus the comic strip, a revival of the Sunday paper adventure strip.  He lives in Phoenix, AZ. with his wife, Jaynelle, their daughter, Jessica, and dogs (beagle-dachshund) Chloe and  (alaskan malamute) Prancer.
