John M. Burns is an English comics artist, with a career stretching back to the mid-1960s. == Biography == His initial work was as an illustrator for ''Junior Express'' and ''School Friend''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url =http://lambiek.net/artists/b/burns_jm.htm )〕 During the 1960s, Burns worked on TV Century 21 and its sister magazines, including the ''Space Family Robinson'' series in "Lady Penelope". For a while he drew daily comics strips for newspapers ''The Daily Sketch'', ''The Daily Mirror'' and ''The Sun'', including ''The Seekers'', ''Danielle'' and, for a period succeeding Enrique Romero during 1978–79, ''Modesty Blaise''.〔 He moved on to illustrate TV tie-in strips for now-defunct title ''Look-in'', always scripted by Angus P. Allan, Burns was already well known by the start of the 1980s. He also worked on the title story for ''Countdown''. It was when he made the crossover to ''2000 AD'', along with fellow ''Look-in'' alumni Jim Baikie and Arthur Ranson, that his position in British comics was cemented. Burns began by working on ''Judge Dredd'', a strip to which he continues to contribute to this day. By his own admission (in a 2004 interview with David Bishop in the ''Judge Dredd Megazine''), Burns does not enjoy drawing science fiction strips, and the look of Judge Dredd is one that he finds particularly unpleasant to draw.〔"Interrogation – John Burns Veteran" (by David Bishop, in ''Judge Dredd Megazine'' No. 224, 2004)〕 In 2007, Burns began working on the ''Nikolai Dante'' strip. He has also co-created (with Robbie Morrison) a contemporary adventure strip, ''The Bendatti Vendetta'', for the Megazine, this is unique for the title in having no science fiction or fantasy elements at all. He recently finished an adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's ''Jane Eyre'', whose script was rendered by Amy Corzine, for UK publisher Classical Comics.〔(Classical Comics – Bringing classics to life )〕 Having previously worked on similar adaptions of ''Lorna Doone'' by R. D. Blackmore and, which is more, ''Wuthering Heights'' by Brontë's sister Emily, Burns was able to bring considerable experience to the project. Burns's recent work is fully painted, and very solidly crafted. 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「John M. Burns」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
