Amazing-Man (John Aman) is a fictional, American comic book superhero whose adventures were published by Centaur Publications during the 1930s to 1940s in the Golden Age of Comic Books. Historians credit his creation variously to writer-artist Bill Everett〔(Amazing-Man ) at Don Markstein's Toonopedia. (Archived ) from the original on April 4, 2012.〕 or to Everett together with Centaur art director Lloyd Jacquet.〔Nevins, Jess. ("The Timely Comics Story" ). (WebCitation archive ).〕 Amazing-Man first appeared in ''Amazing-Man Comics'' #5 (Sept. 1939) The character influenced the creation and origin of Charlton Comics' 1960s superhero Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt,〔 as well as Marvel Comics' Iron Fist character in the 1970s.〔(Jeff Christiansen's The Appendix to the Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Yü-Ti ): "In the letter page to ''Marvel Premiere'' #15, (Fist co-creator ) Roy Thomas commented how the K'un-Lun origin of Iron Fist was inspired by the origin of Bill Everett's Amazing Man".〕 ==Publication history== During the Golden Age of Comic Books, Centaur Publications produced Amazing-Man's eponymous series, ''Amazing-Man Comics'', which ran from issues #5-26 (Sept. 1939 - Feb. 1942). In the 1990s, Malibu Comics used the Centaur properties, including Amazing-Man, as the roster of its own superhero team, the Protectors. Aside from the costume, the Malibu version was essentially identical to the original.〔("The Mighty Crusaders - The Protectors" )〕 Amazing-Man was introduced into the Marvel Comics universe, with the character Prince of Orphans revealing his identity as John Aman at the end of ''Immortal Iron Fist'' #12 (Feb. 2008). Earlier in the issue, Prince of Orphans is seen turning into a green mist while battling Davos. Additionally, under his original name, Amazing-Man is one of many public domain superheroes to appear in issue #0 of ''Project Superpowers'', a miniseries from Dynamite Entertainment; a sketch of him is included in issue #2. 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「Amazing-Man (Centaur Publications)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
