Nathan Lueth
Nathan Lueth came into existence with a pencil in his hand, a feat which continues to confound obstetricians to this day. No one knows for sure when he started drawing or where his love of comics came from, but most experts agree that his professional career began after graduating from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design as a caricaturist in the Mall of America.
Now an 18 year veteran freelance illustrator, and self-published graphic novelist, Nathan has pleased clients and publishers of all sizes. He's worked with Target, General Mills, Inverse Press, Wannabe Press, Writers of the Round Table, and drawn countless thousands of caricatures at fairs across the midwest.
He is the co-creator of Impure Blood, a Victorian-flavored epic fantasy graphic novel series, is editor/publisher of the urban fantasy comic anthology, Concrete Arcanum, and to date has raised over $75,000 on Kickstarter. His latest comic series, The Canon of Vangel, launched in 2022.
When life and limitations demand that he not draw for a bit, he enjoys reading, over-analyzing movies, martial arts, and goofing off with his two amazing daughters.
