Ryan M. Kincaid is a freelance comic book penciller, cover artist, writer, and publisher originally from Lancaster, California and now based in Overland Park, Kansas — one of the most versatile and self-sufficient creators working in the independent comics space today. With cover credits spanning DC Comics (Batman/Superman), Dynamite (Vampirella), IDW Publishing (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Dick Tracy), Aspen Comics (Fathom, Soulfire, Lola XOXO), Absolute Comics, and Coffin Comics, Ryan has built an extensive catalog that spans some of comics' most beloved properties.

Beyond his client work, Ryan is a prolific creator in his own right — publishing multiple self-produced titles including Persuasion, Con Artists, and Seraph and the Seven, and supporting his wife's book Boss Battle (co-written by NiFe WARS collaborator Garrett Gunn). A regular fixture on the convention circuit, Ryan is known for bringing genuine enthusiasm and accessibility to artist alley — earning a reputation as someone who brings the fun back into every show he attends. His two successful Kickstarter campaigns further demonstrate his deep connection to the collector community he serves.

His PCB Hobby retailer exclusive variant cover for NiFe WARS Issue #1 is a natural fit for an artist who has spent his career at the intersection of mainstream publishing and independent creator culture.
