Teddy Kristiansen

Teddy Kristiansen (b. 1964, Denmark), studied at Ulrik Hoff's School of Drawing and Painting for half a year, but is otherwise self-taught. He made his debut in 1986, with a comic in the magazine Pulp Pages. His first album was 'Superman of Fredsbomben' ('Superman and the Peace Bomb'), the first official 'Superman' story produced entirely outside the USA, published in 1990. In 1992, he collaborated with Peter Snejbjerg on a contribution to Henning Kure's 'Tarzan' project, and a year later he was nominated for the American Eisner Award. From then on, he has mainly worked for American companies, starting with 'Grendel Tales - Four Devils, One Hell' (written by James Robinson). At DC, he has worked on titles like 'The Sandman Midnight Theatre' (written by Neil Gaiman), and on 'House of Secrets' (written by Steve Seagle). In 2004, Kristiansen and Seagle's Eisner Award winning Superman album 'It's A Bird' was published.
