Alan Weiss (born March 7, 1948, Chicago Illinois) is an American comic book artist and writer known for his work for DC Comics and Marvel Comics. ==Career== Alan Weiss began his comics career at DC Comics in 1971. Later that year, he began working for Marvel Comics as well where he drew ''Avengers'', ''Captain America'', ''Daredevil'', ''Sub-Mariner'' and ''Spider-Man''. Weiss recalled in a 2006 interview there was a "lost" Adam Warlock story, which if completed would have been reminiscent of the Jonathan Swift novel ''Gulliver's Travels''. Portions of it were printed in the second volume of ''Marvel Masterworks: Warlock''. The remainder of the artwork was lost in a New York City taxicab in 1976. In 1977, Weiss was one of the artists on the first issue of ''Marvel Comics Super Special'' which featured the rock band Kiss in a 40-page fictional adventure written by Steve Gerber. Kiss reappeared in an occult adventure in issue #5 (1978) which was written by Weiss. In April 1978, Weiss and writer E. Nelson Bridwell revamped the Captain Marvel character for DC with Weiss providing more realistic art for the series. Dennis O'Neil and Weiss created the character Calypso in ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #209 (Oct. 1980). Weiss created the ''Steelgrip Starkey and the All-Purpose Power Tool'' limited series for Marvel Comics' Epic Comics comics line in 1986 and ''War Dancer'' for Defiant Comics in 1994. Weiss has worked on DC Comics' alternate universe series ''Elseworlds'', co-writing and pencilling the Batman graphic novel ''The Blue, the Grey and the Bat'' as well as Paradox Press' ''The Big Book Of'' series, doing many pages on a variety of historical topics. From 2002 to 2005, he contributed work to ''Tom Strong's Terrific Tales'' published by America's Best Comics.〔 His work has appeared in the comic books ''The Human Drama'', ''Big Apple Comix'', ''Twilight Zone'', ''Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery'' and ''Our Love Story''; in Warren Publishing's black-and-white horror-comics magazines ''Creepy'' and ''Eerie''; and the satirical magazines ''National Lampoon'' and ''Blast''.〔 Inker Joe Rubinstein called Weiss "the most difficult guy in the business to ink, without exception." He added that this also made him one of his favorite artists to ink, because Weiss's work was so intricate that he couldn't tell what the final art would look like until he had finished inking it. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alan Weiss (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
