Ryan Stegman was born in a drafty stable near Detroit. Ryan picked up crayons and drew on a wall; he was 18 years old. Shortly thereafter, he learned about pencils and paper. He was happy, as were his parents. After being "released" he decided that drawing comics was a good idea. He got all of his horrible drawings out of the way (well, most of them) and then got hired to draw the series "Midnight Kiss" for Markosia. He then found himself at Marvel providing art duties for the series Scarlet Spider, Fantastic Four and Superior Spider-man . Due to the restraints of a bulky ankle bracelet and poor hygiene, he is forced to stay indoors and draw.
