Roger Langridge (born 14 February 1967) is a New Zealand-born comics writer/artist/letterer, currently living in Britain. ==Biography== Langridge originally came to public prominence most notably with the ''Judge Dredd Megazine'' series ''The Straitjacket Fits'' (written by David Bishop), a surreal, hallucinatory, convention-bending strip set in an insane asylum with a cast of characters who realised they were in a comic strip and burst from the edge of the frame. He had previously been a regular artist for the 1988 issues of the Auckland University Students' Association's magazine Craccum. His cartoon style proved perfect for the series and he continued to work for the ''Megazine'', in addition to a series of comedy books dedicated to his Buster Keaton-inspired character ''Fred the Clown'', which he wrote and drew as a webcomic before self-publishing the material as small press titles. These were collected as a single volume by Fantagraphics Books in 2004. His work on Fred the Clown was nominated for two Eisner Awards, a Harvey Award, a Reuben Award and an Ignatz Award.〔(Fred, Mugwhump & More: Talking to Roger Langridge ), Newsarama, 2 September 2008〕 Langridge also does illustration work. He has also provided artwork for Shaenon Garrity's ''Smithson'' webcomic. Langridge has provided the Fin Fang Four, with Scott Gray, first for ''Marvel Monsters'',〔(Marvel Revives Classic Monsters in October ), Newsarama, 8 July 2005〕 then a series of short stories〔(Previews: Marvel Holiday Special, Ult Vision #1 ), Newsarama, 5 December 2006〕〔(Giant-Size Avengers III: The Return of Fin Fang Four ), Newsarama, 23 November 2007〕 and in late 2008 as a digital comic on Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited.〔(Marvel Digital: Roger Langridge Talks Fin Fang Four ), Newsarama, 21 October 2008〕 He was the writer, and usually the cartoonist for, Boom! Studios' ''The Muppet Show'' comics (2009–12). In 2012, he scripted for IDW a four-issue ''Popeye'' miniseries, illustrated by Bruce Ozella, so successful that even before the second issue it was expanded into an "ongoing" series, according to Langridge.〔(The Orbiting Pod #65: Roger Langridge, 11 May 2012. )〕 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「Roger Langridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
