Rune Ryberg is an award-winning Danish comic book artist and character designer grounded in character animation. His comics show a visual language saturated with energy and color, often with extended sequences presenting little or no dialogue. It’s dynamic and dazzling, with dramatic shifts from panel to panel and page to page while maintaining a clear and vivid story. His work is rich with references to pop culture from the 80s and 90s. On the exterior, Rune tells stories that are arch-masculine and action-packed but, at the same time, have a poetic, vulnerable interior where the masculine finds new forms. Like in the debut work Géant (2014), where the main character goes through dramatic monstrous changes. Géant won the Danish Comic book award, Ping Prisen, in 2015 for Best Youth and Children’s comic book of the year. Four years later, Runewins another Ping Pris for Death Save (published in French as TILT) for Best comic book of theyear. In 2020, The Danish Arts Foundation granted Rune a three-year work grant for the art that serves as a renewal of Danish comic books.
