Kris Anka

Kris Anka is an American comic book artist and inker best known for his work at Marvel Comics, particularly on *X-Men*, *Runaways*, and *Captain Marvel*. He was born in 1950. Anka entered the industry in the early 2010s, quickly gaining attention for his clean, expressive linework and modern character designs. His 2014 redesign of Spider-Woman’s costume became a defining visual for the character, and he later illustrated the 2016 *Star-Lord* ongoing series, written by Chip Zdarsky. Beyond comics, Anka served as lead character designer for the animated film *Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse*. He is also credited as artist, colorist, and inker on nearly 100 issues, with notable runs on *Runaways* (alongside writer Rainbow Rowell) and *New Mutants*. His collaborations with writers like Zdarsky and Rowell helped shape key storylines for Marvel’s younger heroes. Anka remains active in the industry, contributing to both print and screen. He has received recognition for his design work, though specific awards are not documented in available sources.
