Todd Nauck

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Todd Nauck (born 1971 in Texas) is an American comic book artist and writer.

After graduating high school, Todd took his portfolio to comic book conventions where he received several brutal critiques. Shortly after, he enrolled at the Art Institute of Dallas. After completing his education, Todd started sending out his samples to all of the major companies. In between submissions, he would write, draw, and letter a series of homemade mini comics featuring his own characters, which he printed from a copy machine. Todd picked up his first paid assignment from Marvel Comics drawing the back cover of "What the??!" after showing his portfolio during a Dallas Bulldog productions comic book convention.

In early 1994, Todd was hired by Rob Liefeld 's Extreme Studios of Image Comics to draw such series as Badrock and Co., Newmen, New Force, Supreme, Youngblood and Team Youngblood. By 1997, Todd began work with DC Comics. After drawing several Legion of Superheroes stories, he helped launch the Young Justice series with writer, Peter David. Todd drew 53 of the 55 issue run of the Young Justice series, including 3 double-sized issues and a portion of the Young Justice/Spyboy crossover mini-series.

Nauck is most notable for his work on Young Justice and his own creation, Wildguard.

He has more recently drawn the two Infinite Crisis issues of Teen Titans (v3 #32-33), which currently features some of the characters he drew in Young Justice.

Currently, Todd is drawing Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (#11-13) for Marvel Comics as well as drawing Teen Titans Go! based on the hit Cartoon Network animated series for DC Comics.
