He has written novels, screenplays, comic books, comic strips, trading cards, short stories, movie novelizations and historical fiction. He wrote the graphic novel ''Road to Perdition'' (which was developed into a film in 2002), created the comic book private eye ''Ms. Tree'', and took over writing the ''Dick Tracy'' comic strip from creator Chester Gould. Collins briefly wrote the ''Batman'' comic book in 1987 and crafted a new origin for the Jason Todd character. Another contribution to the Batman franchise was scripting the English-language translation of ''Batman: Child of Dreams'' in 2003.〔Manning "2000s" in Dougall, p. 266: "Translated into English by a voice familiar with chronicling Bruce Wayne's adventures, writer Max Allan Collins, this epic story followed a Japanese reporter...who traveled to Gotham City."〕 He wrote books to expand on the ''Dark Angel'' TV series. He has also written books and comics based on the TV series franchise ''CSI''. In 2006 he wrote ''Buried Deep'' (also released as "Bones Buried Deep"), based on the TV series ''Bones''. He has also written two sequel novels to ''Road to Perdition'': ''Road to Purgatory'' and ''Road to Paradise''. He also wrote three more graphic novels starring the characters from ''Road to Perdition''. These graphic novels, called collectively ''On the Road to Perdition'', form the basis of the film. He also co-founded the International Association of Media Tie-in Writers with Lee Goldberg. The IAMTW is an organization for writers of tie-ins and novelizations. Collins studied in the Iowa Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa. Collins is a fan of the mystery writer Mickey Spillane from childhood and later became friends with him. The two collaborated on a comic book series in the 1990s called ''Mike Danger''. Upon Spillane's death in 2006, Collins was entrusted to finish several uncompleted works by Spillane including ''Dead Street'', ''The Goliath Bone'', and ''The Big Bang''. ==Selected bibliography== 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「Max Allan Collins」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
