Brian Michael Bendis (born August 18, 1967) is an American comic book writer and former artist. He has won critical acclaim, including five Eisner Awards for both his creator-owned work and his work on various Marvel Comics books.〔Bendis, Brian Michael and Oeming, Michael Avon, ''Powers'' TPB Vol. 9 - ''Psychotic'' (Icon, 2006), ISBN 0-7851-1743-1〕 Starting out with crime and noir comics, Bendis eventually moved to mainstream superhero work. With Bill Jemas and Mark Millar, Bendis was the primary architect of the Ultimate Marvel Universe, launching ''Ultimate Spider-Man'' in 2000, on which he continues as writer to the present day. He relaunched the Avengers franchise with ''New Avengers'' in 2004, and has also written the Marvel "event" storylines "Secret War" (2004), "House of M" (2005), "Secret Invasion" (2008), "Siege" (2010) and "Age of Ultron" (2013). Though Bendis has cited comic book writers such as Frank Miller and Alan Moore, his own writing influences are less rooted in comics, drawing on the work of David Mamet, Richard Price, and Aaron Sorkin, whose dialogue Bendis feels are "the best in any medium."〔Bendis, Brian Michael and Oeming, Michael Avon, ''Powers'' TPB Vol. 5 - ''Anarchy'' (Image, 2003), ISBN 1-58240-331-7〕 In addition to writing comics, he has worked in television, video games and film, and began teaching writing at University of Oregon in Fall 2013. He has also occasionally taught at Portland State University. In 2014, Bendis wrote ''Words for Pictures,'' a book about comics published by Random House.〔(【引用サイトリンク】first=Brian )〕 ==Early life== Brian Michael Bendis was born on August 18, 1967 in Cleveland, Ohio to a Jewish-American family. Despite rebelling against a religious upbringing, he attended a private, modern Orthodox religious school for boys. He decided he wanted to be a comic book industry professional when he was 13, working on his own comics, including a ''Punisher versus Captain America'' story that he revised several times. A fan of Marvel Comics in particular, he emulated idols such as George Pérez, John Romita, Sr., John Romita, Jr., Jack Kirby and Klaus Janson.〔"The Bendis-Fraction Conversation" ''Comic-Con Magazine'' (Winter 2010). Pages 24-28〕〔〔Dean, Michael. (Brian Michael Bendis interview ), ''The Comics Journal'' #266. Retrieved June 21, 2008.〕 He later discovered crime comics by Jim Steranko and José Munoz, which he traced back via Jim Thompson's work to the source novels of both Thompson and Dashiell Hammett, which helped cement his love for crime stories.〔 These in turn led him to discover the documentary ''Visions of Light'', which taught him the explicit visual rules of film noir, an important influence on him creatively.〔〔 While in high school, he submitted for a "Creative Writing assignment" a novelization of Chris Claremont's ''X-Men and the Starjammers'' story, which gained him an A+ grade for imagination and inventiveness.〔 Between the ages of 20 and 25, he sent in a large number of submissions to comics companies, although he ultimately stopped his attempts to break into the industry this way, considering it too much of a "lottery."〔Bendis, Brian Michael and Oeming, Michael Avon, ''Powers'' TPB Vol. 3 - ''Little Deaths'' (Image, 2002), ISBN 1-58240-670-7〕 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「Brian Michael Bendis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
