Jorge Zaffino (1960–2002) was a comic book artist born in Argentina. ==Biography== Zaffino spent a lifetime working as an artist in and out of comics. At the age of 16, he began working as an unpaid apprentice at the comics studios of Ricardo and Enrique Villagran in Buenos Aires, where his father had requested that they take him on. Zaffino made himself a recognised name in his country, working many years in important argentine comics, like ''Nippur de Lagash''.〔http://www.rebrote.com/nippur/html/zaffino.htm 〕 In the mid-1980s, Zaffino made a trip to the U.S. with Ricardo Villagran, who was working for Comico at the time. On that trip, Zaffino met comics writer Chuck Dixon, and together they produced ''Winter World'', a three part series for Eclipse. They continued to collaborate on comics, producing the seminal ''Punisher'' graphic novels ''Kingdom Gone'' and ''Assassin's Guild'', and a ''Savage Sword of Conan'' story titled ''The Horned God''. During this time, Zaffino worked regularly with comics writer Dan Chichester on various comics, including ''Critical Mass'', and ''Terror Inc.''. He did relatively little work in the U.S. comics industry, where he is mostly known for his art in ''Punisher'', ''Clive Barker's Hellraiser'' and ''The 'Nam'' for Marvel Comics. Zaffino’s last work in the US was a story written by Dixon for the 1996 ''Batman Black and White'' mini series. He continued working for the Argentine comic market, but focused on his work as a painter. A follow up to ''Winter World'' called ''Winter Sea'' was entirely written and drawn for Marvel Comics, but was never published due to changes of Marvel's policy on creator-owned books at the time.〔()〕〔()〕 A third chapter of the Winter World saga was also planned, titled ''Winter War''.〔''Winterworld'', ibid.〕 In January 2010, a hardcover edition containing ''Winter World'' and ''Winter Sea'' was published through IDW Publishing. Zaffino died on July 12, 2002 at the age of 43 of a heart attack in Buenos Aires, Argentina. 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「Jorge Zaffino」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
