Neil Kleid (born 1975) is an American cartoonist who received a 2003 Xeric Award grant for his graphic novella Ninety Candles (2004).[1] Raised in Oak Park, Michigan, he lives in New Jersey

Kleid wrote Brownsville, a graphic novel about Murder, Inc., with Jake Allen; The Big Kahn, a graphic novel about family, faith, and con men, with Nicolas Cinquegrani, for NBM Publishing; and Ursa Minors!, an action/comedy mini-series for Slave Labor Graphics. He has written for Puffin Graphics, Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Image Comics, and Dark Horse Comics, and has created minicomics and cartoons for anthologies and magazines.

Kleid adapted Spider-Man: Kraven's Last Hunt to prose in 2014, the popular Marvel Comics storyline by J. M. DeMatteis and Mike Zeck, which was published by Marvel Press and Titan Books. In 2016, he co-plotted and wrote Powers: The Secret History of Deena Pilgrim, an original novel based on the popular comic book by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming for MacMillan Books.

In 2020, Dark Horse Comics published Savor, Kleid's culinary adventure graphic novel with artists John Broglia and Frank Reynoso.

Outside of comic books, Kleid penned columns for now defunct online writer resource Scryptic Studios, and various online websites including PopCultureShock.com, PopImage.com, Newsarama.com, and SequentialTart.com. He was a founder and active member of the webcomic collective The Chemistry Set.

While writing/drawing various projects, Kleid spends his days as a UX/UI product designer, having helped co-found a series of mobile collecting apps for the Topps Company in New York, including Topps Pennant, Topps BUNT, Topps HUDDLE, and their popular Star Wars Card Trader app. Kleid has worked on marketing campaigns for Comedy Central and Miramax Films, has been employed as a designer by McCann, Girl Scouts and his work has appeared in Variety and The New York Times.

A Modern Orthodox Jew, Klein has been a resident of Teaneck, New Jersey.[2][3]

Working in the industry since the early 2000s, he’s written X-Men, Superman and countless other stories—he even adapted Spider-Man: Kraven’s Last Hunt into a novel. He’s also a Modern Orthodox Jew from Teaneck, and his newest story, a digital comic book series from Comixology Originals that will then be adapted into print by Dark Horse Comics, promises to be a thrilling addition to his catalog."
