José Delbo (born December 9, 1933) is an Argentine comic book artist. He is best known for his work on ''Wonder Woman'' for DC Comics and ''The Transformers'' for Marvel Comics. ==Career== José Delbo became a professional comics artist at the age of 16 working for the Argentine ''Poncho Negro'' series. Due to political instability in Argentina, he moved to Brazil in 1963 and then to the United States two years later. His early work for the U.S. market included ''Billy the Kid'' for Charlton Comics.〔 He drew many TV tie-in comic books for Dell Comics and Western Publishing's Gold Key Comics including ''The Brady Bunch'', ''Hogan's Heroes'', ''The Mod Squad'', ''The Monkees'', and ''The Twilight Zone''. A comics biography of Dwight D. Eisenhower drawn by Delbo was published by Dell in 1969 soon after the former President's death. Delbo named ''The Monkees'', ''The Lone Ranger'', and an adaptation of the ''Yellow Submarine'' film as being among his favorite projects. His first work for DC Comics appeared in ''The Spectre'' #10 (May-June 1969).〔 Delbo became the artist on the ''Wonder Woman'' title with issue #222 (Feb.-March 1976) and drew the series until #286 (Dec. 1981). Following the popularity of the ''Wonder Woman'' television series (initially set during World War II), Delbo and writer Martin Pasko transposed the comic book series to this era. A few months after the TV series changed its setting to the 1970s, Delbo and Jack C. Harris returned the comic book to the contemporary timeline.〔McAvennie "1970s" in Dolan, p. 179: "To reflect the modern setting of CBS-TV's ''The New Adventures of Wonder Woman'', scripter Jack C. Harris and artist José Delbo produced a story where Earth-1's Amazon helped her Golden Age counterpart apprehend the Angle Man in May's Wonder Woman #243."〕 Soon after, Wonder Woman's longtime love interest Steve Trevor was killed but writer Gerry Conway and Delbo brought the character back to life again in issue #271 (Sept. 1980).〔Manning, Matthew K. "1980s" in Dolan, p.187 "This landmark issue also saw the return of Steve Trevor to Wonder Woman's life in the main feature by writer Gerry Conway and penciler José Delbo."〕 The Lumberjack, a character created by Delbo and Conway in ''Wonder Woman'' #268 (June 1980) will appear on the ''Supergirl'' television series in 2015. Conway and Delbo introduced a new version of the Cheetah in issue #274 (Dec. 1980).〔Manning "1980s" in Dolan, p. 189: "The Amazing Amazon gained a new deadly adversary when Cheetah was reborn, thanks to writer Gerry Conway and artist José Delbo."〕 Delbo's other work for DC includes the ''Batman Family'', three stories for the "Whatever Happened to...?" backup feature in ''DC Comics Presents'', the Jimmy Olsen feature in ''The Superman Family'', and the Batgirl feature in ''Detective Comics''. His final major work for DC was a brief run on the Superman/Batman feature in ''World's Finest Comics'' in 1985.〔〔Manning "1980s" in Dougall, p. 160: "Writer Joey Cavalieri and penciller José Delbo saw the heroes off in style as they faced the new menace of the mystical villain Nightwolf."〕 In 1986, Delbo began working for Marvel Comics where he drew ''ThunderCats'', ''The Transformers'', and ''NFL SuperPro''. He co-created ''Brute Force'' with Simon Furman in 1990.〔 Delbo taught at The Kubert School from the 1990s until 2005. After moving to Florida, he taught at a "cartoon camp" program for school aged children in Boca Raton.〔 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「José Delbo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
