Martin Asbury is a British comic and storyboard artist, best known for drawing the ''Garth'' strip in the ''Daily Mirror'' from 1976 to 1997, and for his colour TV adaptations in ''Look-in''. ==Biography== Asbury was educated at Merchant Taylors School and at Saint Martin's School of Art, London,〔(Credits at MartinAsbury.com )〕 and started work in strip cartoons, including assisting Dan Barry on ''Flash Gordon'' in Austria. After a period designing greetings cards, he got work at D. C. Thomson, drawing "Secret of the Sheridan Sisters" for ''Bunty'' and "Soldiers of the Jet Age" and "The Crimson Claw" for ''Hotspur'', before moving to ''TV Century 21'', drawing "Joe 90" and the football strip "Forward from the Back-Streets", starting in 1969. He then drew "Captain Scarlet" for ''Countdown'', starting in 1971. When ''Countdown'' was relaunched as ''TV Action'' in 1973, Asbury got an early opportunity to work in colour on "Cannon". From there he moved to ''Look-in'', where he drew more strips based on TV shows, including popular runs on "Kung Fu" and "The Six Million Dollar Man", written by Angus Allan, until 1981. He also drew "Doctor Who" for ''TV Comic'' in 1975,〔(From Small Screen to Big Screen: an interview with Martin Asbury )〕 and a ''Star Wars'' strip for the ''TV Times'' in 1982.〔(''Star Wars'' by Martin Asbury )〕 He took over as artist on the ''Daily Mirror'' In 1994 he was invited to storyboard the film 'Golden Eye', which signalled the resurgence of the James Bond franchise and starred a new Bond in the shape of Pierce Brosnan. Asbury went on to storyboard the next seven Bond films up to and including 'Skyfall'. He has storyboarded many high profile films such as 'Labyrinth', 'Interview with a Vampire', 'Alien 3' and two of the Harry Potter features. In 2012 the Daily Mirror began to re-run Asbury's 'Garth' daily strip in a new format - in that two daily strips were run together as a 'two-banker', thus increasing the dramatic visual narrative. To date the Asbury strips of Garth are still running daily in the paper into 2014. On 18 September 2013 he was featured on the BBC One TV 'One Show' and was comprehensively interviewed by Phil Tufnell. In December of the same year, he was awarded the 'Lifetime Achievement Award' by the British Film Designers' Guild. He remains and continues to work as one of the foremost storyboard artists in the International Film Community. 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「Martin Asbury」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
