JUAN JOSE RYP

Rapidly becoming known as one of the comic industry's rising stars, artist Juan Jose Ryp has impressed fans and fellow pros alike with his jaw dropping, every-blade-of-grass-and-strand-of-hair detailed line, plus outstanding figure work, composition, and design -- and an ability to tackle a variety of subject matter with ease. Best known on the American comics scene for his work on Frank Miller's Robocop, Alan Moore's Magic Words, Alan Moore's Another Suburban Romance, Alan Moore's Yuggoth Cultures, Threshold, the Shi: Pandora's Box mini-series, and Jungle Fantasy, as well as numerous covers at Avatar, Ryp also has an extensive body of work published in Spain, such as Nancy in Hell and Monique and Denisse.

Currently in progress or on the horizon Juan Jose Ryp at Avatar is a Warren Ellis' Apparat one-shot, Frank Miller's Robocop, the American debut of his Monique and Denisse serialized in Threshold, the Lovecraftian horror of Yuggoth Creatures (written by Antony Johnston) and other projects to be announced. Also coming up from Ryp for Vivid Comix is a story featuring Jenna Jameson in the debut of the Vivid Girls graphic novel series.
