Charlie Huston is an American author of crime novels and superhero comic books. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, actress Virginia Louise Smith. According to an interview with ''Paradigm,'' he prefers to be classified as a writer of "pulp" as opposed to "noir". ==Career== ''Caught Stealing'', along with ''Six Bad Things'' and Huston's fourth novel, ''A Dangerous Man'', follow the lovable anti-hero, baseball-mad Henry Thompson, as he works his way through mistaken identity, his past, and a new life for himself. With the release of ''Already Dead'' (2005), Huston put a new spin on vampires with the beginning of a saga he refers to as the "Joe Pitt Casebooks". A departure from his first two books, ''Already Dead'' focuses on "vampyre" clans that control the underworld in and around New York City. The novel, featuring protagonist Joe Pitt, a vampire who does odd jobs for different clans, retains the gritty style Huston is known for. The five-part series features ''Already Dead,'' ''No Dominion'' (2006), ''Half the Blood of Brooklyn'' (2007), ''Every Last Drop'' (2008), and ''My Dead Body'' (2009). In 2006, Huston joined the list of print authors who have written American comic books. In April 2006, Marvel Comics launched Huston's reboot of the Marvel character Moon Knight. The work is ongoing; Huston wrote the first 12 monthly issues. His run concluded in December 2007, but he continues to aid in the plotting. He also wrote the second ''Ultimates'' annual in August 2006. It was recently announced that Huston will reboot the character Deathlok in a mini-series with artist Lan Medina. Huston has also written three stand-alone novels. The first, ''The Shotgun Rule'' (August 2007), "is the story of a group of teenage delinquents that break into the wrong house and steal the wrong thing in a California suburb in the ’80s". This book also marks Huston's first book written in third person, instead of his trademark first person, view. Huston's ''The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death'' (2009) introduces a new character, Webster Fillmore Goodhue, who will be further developed in upcoming books. The book was rumored to be the basis for an upcoming HBO series, but the network passed. ''Sleepless'' (2010) takes place in a dystopic alternate present Los Angeles overrun by insomnia, caused by a prion. Huston has published two short stories featuring the same female protagonists in two anthologies, focusing on different aspects of noir. The first was published in ''Expletive Deleted'' (November 20, 2007), the second in ''A Hell of a Woman: An Anthology of Female Noir'' (December 3, 2007). Huston has also written for the recent Wolverine series, ''Wolverine: The Best There Is'', with artist Juan Jose Ryp. ''Broken Quarantine,'' a collection of issues 7 through 12 of the series, was published in June 2012. In January 2013, it was announced that Huston was working on the pilot for FX's adaption of the Brian Bendis/Michael Avon comic book ''Powers.'' 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「Charlie Huston」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
