Ralph Niese (* March 14 1983 in Leipzig; † November 23 2020)[1] was a German comic artist, graphic artist and illustrator.[2]
Niese attended the Max Klinger School, a secondary school in the Leipzig district of Grünau, and then studied at the Hochschule für Grafik und BuAcademy of Fine Arts Leipzig. Through a contact at the booth belonging to the comic publisher Extrem Erfolgreich Enterprises (EEE), Niese was able to publish his first work Wolfmen in the magazine series Extrem Illustrated[3] at the age of 16. According to Bela B.|Bela B, the former owner of EEE, he was the youngest artist whose contributions were published in the series, but who as a minor was not allowed to buy the issues himself.[4] This was followed by other publications in German comic magazines aimed at an adult audience, such as Menschenblut[2][5] and U-Comix[6]. As an illustrator and colorist, he contributed to several issues of the Perry - Our Man in Space series by Alligator Farm between 2007 and 2010.[7][8] Niese also published some comic books under the label Fistful Fumetti, many of them in small format stapled by hand.[2] For example, he self-published his own series Poly Chronos[9] and Mekano Turbo together with Alexis Ziritt.
From 2008 to 2009 Niese was involved as an illustrator on publications for the US publisher Image Comics.[10] He not only worked as an inker for two issues of the Noble Causes series, but also designed the covers of the issues.[11] During this time Niese also published pages in the sixth issue of Madman Atomic Comics magazine[12] and in two issues of the comic anthology Popgun.[13][14] For the series Space Riders by Alexis Ziritt and Fabian Rangel Jr. he contributed a variant cover for the first issue.[2][15] As part of the Glyos System Comic Series[16] between 2011 and 2016, Niese illustrated several webcomics based on the English texts by Matt Doughty, including the titles Reflex,[17] Volkria[18] and Chariots Keep.[19]
The Leipzig comic artist is described by his colleagues as a creative and sociable free spirit who often cooperated with other authors and artists.[2][4] He was also counted as an integral part of the alternative comics scene internationally.[4] In addition to his work as a comic artist, Niese was also artistically active in other areas. At the end of 2014 he published the calendar The Young Time Traveller, which also contains exclusive comic pages.[20] In 2018, he contributed designs for various stickers for the eleventh issue of Klebstoff Magazine.[21] As a part-time member of the small toy manufacturer Goodleg Toys,[22] Niese designed several small-scale synthetic resin figures, including his figure Robert Cop.[23][24] For October Toys he made the minifigure Phantom Outhouse based on the design by Kyle Thye as part of the OMFG! Series 1.[25][26]
Starting in 2017, Niese collaborated with German hip-hop artist Morlockk Dilemma on album covers, illustrated lyrical comic books and action figures.[27]
Ralph Niese lived and worked as a freelance illustrator and comic artist in Leipzig.[5]
