Russell Dauterman is an illustrator and character designer, best known for his work on the Marvel comic book series THE MIGHTY THOR, X-MEN, and SCARLET WITCH.

Russell’s childhood love of X-MEN: THE ANIMATED SERIES led him to a nearly lifelong love of comics and to a career as a comic book artist. Over the past decade, Russell’s work has included character design, interior art, and cover art across the Marvel Universe; and has been adapted into video games and film.

Russell has designed superhero costumes for Storm, Jean Grey, Scarlet Witch, Thor, Spider-Man, and more, and designed for the X-Men’s HELLFIRE GALA events. He is the cover artist for the Marvel comic book series SCARLET WITCH, cover artist for the X-MEN trading card variants, and his own costumes cover series. Russell’s Eisner-nominated run on THOR debuted at #1 on The New York Times Bestseller List for graphic novels, and inspired the 2022 film, THOR: LOVE & THUNDER.

A graduate of Boston College, Russell went on to receive a master’s degree in costume design from the University of California, Los Angeles. Before his career in comics, Russell worked in the film industry as an illustrator for costume designers. In 2018, Marvel inducted Russell as a Young Gun, one of their spotlighted artists.

Clients include Marvel, DC Comics, BOOM! Studios, Image Comics, Valiant Entertainment, ESPN The Magazine, and Empire Magazine.
