Jimmy Woo is a fictional, Chinese-American secret agent in the Marvel Comics comic-book universe. Created by EC Comics writer Al Feldstein and artist Joe Maneely, the character first appeared in ''Yellow Claw'' #1 (Oct. 1956) from Atlas Comics, the 1950s predecessor of Marvel. ==Publication history== Jimmy Woo was the hero of an espionage series ''Yellow Claw'', named for his antagonist, a "yellow peril" Communist mandarin. While the short-lived series named after that villain ran only four issues (Oct. 1956 - April 1957), it featured art by Maneely, Jack Kirby, and John Severin. Kirby took over as writer-artist with issue #2 — inking his own pencil art there and in the following issue, representing two of the very rare occasions on which he did so. On the final issue, the inking was done by Western- and war-comics veteran Severin. Also, other artists drew the covers: Severin on #2 and #4, Bill Everett on #3. Well regarded for its relatively mature storyline and in particular for Maneely's exquisitely atmospheric art, the book nevertheless failed to find an audience. Its influence rippled as the Yellow Claw, Woo and other characters from it were brought into the Marvel universe a decade later, beginning with the "S.H.I.E.L.D. " story in ''Strange Tales'' #160 (Sept. 1967). Woo joins that espionage agency in ''Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' #2 (July 1968). Woo went on to be featured in the 1977-1979 Marvel series ''Godzilla'' and the 2006-07 Marvel series ''Agents of Atlas''. Before the cancellation of the 1990s alternate universe Marvel imprint Razorline, as produced but unpublished titles of its various series were preparing to blend the Razorline into primary Marvel continuity, Woo as well as Nick Fury and other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents guest-starred in ''Wraitheart'' #5. Woo starred as the leader of a team of S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives code-named Agents of Atlas, in the 2006-2007 series of that name. 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「Jimmy Woo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
