James "Jim" H. Williams III, usually credited as J. H. Williams III, is a comic book artist and penciller. He is known for his work on titles such as ''Chase'', ''Promethea'', ''Desolation Jones'' and ''Batwoman''. ==Career== Williams' early work includes penciling the four-issue miniseries, ''Deathwish'' (1994–1995) from Milestone Media. ''Deathwish'' was written by Maddie Blaustein and inked by Jimmy Palmiotti. He was one of the artists on the ''Shade'' limited series which spun off from the ''Starman'' series. Williams gained prominence as the artist on the short-lived (ten issues, 1997–1998) ''Chase'' title from DC Comics, where he worked with writer Dan Curtis Johnson. The character had been introduced earlier in ''Batman'' #550 (Jan. 1998). Williams collaborated with inker Mick Gray on two DC Elseworlds graphic novels, ''Justice Riders'', written by Chuck Dixon, and ''Son of Superman'', written by Howard Chaykin and David Tischman. Williams' next major work was for Wildstorm Comics' America's Best Comics with writer Alan Moore on ''Promethea'' (32 issues, 1999–2005). In mid-2005 Williams launched a new series, this time with writer Warren Ellis, ''Desolation Jones'',〔Cowsill, Alan "2000s" in Dolan, p. 320: "The first story arc involved a conspiracy theory...in a superbly twisted cyberpunk-style tale illustrated by J. H. Williams III."〕 as well as illustrating the two "bookend" issues of Grant Morrison's ''Seven Soldiers'' project. In 2007 he worked with Morrison on another project, a three-part story in ''Batman'' #667–669.〔Manning "2000s" in Dougall, p. 294: "Writer Grant Morrison and artist J. H. Williams III revitalized the 1950s concept of the International Club of Heroes."〕 Williams drew ''Jonah Hex'' #35 and has stated an interest in doing more, saying "I certainly want to do more issues myself or even a graphic novel if the opportunity and schedule presented itself." Williams became the regular artist on ''Detective Comics'' with writer Greg Rucka in June 2009, with the title focusing on Rucka's Batwoman character〔Manning "2000s" in Dougall, p. 305: "Batman's flagship titlehad a new boss - Batwoman. Taking over as the title's protagonist...thanks to her longtime writer Greg Rucka and artist J. H. Williams III."〕 due to the absence of Batman in the aftermath of "Batman R.I.P." and ''Final Crisis''. Williams returned as artist and co-writer of the new ''Batwoman'' series, accompanied by co-author W. Haden Blackman. ''Batwoman'' received a GLAAD Media Award in the category of "Outstanding Comic Book" at the 23rd GLAAD Media Awards in June 2012. In 2012, DC announced that Williams would be the artist for Neil Gaiman's ''Sandman'' prequel series, ''The Sandman: Overture'', to be released October 30, 2013. Both Williams and Blackman resigned from the ''Batwoman'' title in September 2013 due to differences with DC's editorial decisions. 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「J. H.
