Nic Klein is a German artist and illustrator, who has worked on a lot of comics, most recently Marvel's Dead of Night: Man Thing 4. Nic's painterly work shows elements of manga, golden age comics and graphic design.
Of his influences, Nic says, "I believe everything we see and do influences the art-making process; reading a book, watching a film, sitting in a cafe and watching people. It all gets stored somewhere in the back of the mind and perhaps works its way into a piece or a process of creating."
