After studying graphics and drawing in Münster, Reinhard Kleist started an atelier with Fil, Michalke and Mawil in Berlin. During his studies, he had already created the albums 'Lovecraft' (a biographical comic on Howard Phillips Lovecraft), 'Dorian' and 'Abenteuer eines Weichenstellers'. In 1996, Kleist won the Max und Moritz prize for "best German album" at the Comicsalon Erlangen. His other comic titles include 'Steeplechase', 'Fucked', 'Amerika', 'Das Grauen im Gemäuer' (printed in France as 'Les rats dans les Murs') and 'Scherbenmund', a vampire novel with author Tobias O. Meissner, which also appeared in France under the name 'Mort Sure'.
