Education

Kreuger graduated Marquette University with a degree in Journalism.

Filmmaking

Kreuger's first short film, They Might Be Dragons, which he wrote, directed, and produced, won "Best In Class" at New York University (NYU), a "Best Short Film" award from the New York Independent Film Festival, and a SILVER from the Crested Butte Film Festival. Jim has also written the story script for Midway Games' Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks video game.

Comics

Kreuger won two Addy Awards during his first year as a copywriter. A year later he became a creative director at Marvel Comics, and has since become a freelance comic book writer/property creator.

His original works include The Foot Soldiers, Alphabet Supes, The Clock Maker and The Last Straw Man.

Other comic book writing includes the award-winning Earth X trilogy with Alex Ross for Marvel Comics, as well as Avengers, X-Men, Star Wars, The Matrix Comics, Micronauts, Galactic, and Batman, and he has since introduced two new comic book formats.

On the drawing board is Krueger's second and third major projects with Alex Ross, Justice, and Avengers/Invaders, as well as Capone vs. Dracula. He has written his first novel, whose title is thus far unrevealed but has something to do with Christmas.

Krueger is also president and publisher of his own comic book entertainment company, 26 Soldiers, and was named as one of the top ten writers in comics and an innovator in the field by Wizard magazine.
