Scott Tracy Griffin is a writer, an actor and "one of the world's leading experts" on author Edgar Rice Burroughs and his works. He is the author of ''Tarzan: The Centennial Celebration,'' the "only official commemorative illustrated history" of Burroughs' literary character Tarzan, which book was a 2013 Locus Award finalist for Best Art Book.〔("Locus Award Winners," Locus online, June 29, 2013 )〕 Griffin began writing professionally in 1993, covering the film industry for magazines including ''Cinefantastique'', ''FilmFax'', and ''Alter Ego''. He scripted the ''Tarzan'' Sunday comic strip in 1996 and has consulted on and appeared in documentaries and news programs, including ''Investigating Tarzan'' and ''Tarzan: Silver Screen King of the Jungle'' to discuss Edgar Rice Burroughs and Tarzan. Griffin said he became deeply interested in the Tarzan character through the "Tarzan Family" and "Korak, Son of Tarzan" DC Comics as well as reprints of Tarzan strips by cartoonist Russ Manning.〔 ==''Tarzan: The Centennial Celebration''== Griffin took an idea for a commemorative book to Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., which owns the Tarzan trademark, and the company contracted with him to "compose the franchise's history."〔 Griffin's "lavish" and "well-researched" coffee-table book" on Burroughs was published by Titan Books in 2012.〔〔(Susan King, "Hollywood Books: 'Tarzan The Centennial Celebration' Is Wild for Him," ''Los Angeles Times,''; November 28, 2012 )〕 Burroughs biographer and retired Pasadena City College professor Robert Zeuschner said of the book that "Until now, there has never been a single source which could be used to examine the original pulp magazine art, the dust jacket covers for the early printings, the comic book covers and interior art, and the huge number of Tarzan movies made after the silent era."〔 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「Scott Tracy Griffin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
