Matt Frank is an American comic book artist and writer. He first became known among kaiju fans for his Godzilla Neo project on DeviantArt, a series of redesigns and stories about Toho's many kaiju set in a single continuity. He was involved in IDW Publishing's Godzilla comics from the beginning, drawing and retouching many of the 80 variant covers for Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters #1. After drawing interiors for Godzilla: Legends #1, he became the main artist for Godzilla: Rulers of Earth, which remained the longest-running U.S. Godzilla comic in the character's history until 2023.
