Kyle Starks is an American comic book writer and artist best known for his work on *Rick and Morty* for Oni Press and his creator-owned series *Sexcastle*, *Kill Them All*, and *Assassin Nation*. Born in the United States, he entered the comics industry in the mid-2010s, quickly establishing a reputation for energetic, irreverent storytelling and a bold, cartoonish art style. Starks’s signature work blends action-comedy with heartfelt character moments, often collaborating with artists like Chris Schweizer on *Rock Candy Mountain* and *Peacemaker Tries Hard!*. He co-created the series *End of Life* and contributed to *Marvel Unleashed* and *Invader Zim*. His prolific output, spanning over 70 issues from 2015 to 2026, earned him multiple Eisner Award nominations. Starks’s later career has seen him expand into superhero and licensed titles, while his creator-owned projects continue to showcase his distinctive voice. His legacy lies in his ability to balance absurd humor with genuine pathos, influencing a generation of indie and mainstream comics.
