Tsutomu Nihei is an internationally known Japanese comic artist and
draftsman. Born in 1971, Nihei made his debut in the comics world
as the winner of the 1995 Afternoon Magazine Four Seasons Award for
short stories. He then briefly worked as an assistant to veteran
comicker Tsutomu Takahashi before making his break-through hit
BLAME! (published by Tokyopop).
The BLAME! franchise was so well received worldwide, that it
inspired an animated mini-series and eventually drew the attention
of Marvel Comics in the US. Nihei would later go on to draw
Wolverine (X-Men) and HALO comics for Marvel to great fanfare. An
architectural student, Nihei's early work were mainly wordless,
relying on visuals and backgrounds to tell their stories. Now, his
works are deeply rooted in hard science-fiction, as was seen in the
multiple NY Times Bestselling books HALO- The Graphic Novel
(published by Marvel Comics) and BIOmega (published by Viz Media).
