Shawn McManus (born June 30, 1958) is an American artist who has worked extensively over three decades for DC Comics and other companies, notably for DC's Vertigo imprint including the ''Fables'' series. ==Comics== Born in Brookline, Massachusetts, McManus entered the comics field in the early 1980s with work for ''Heavy Metal'' and DC Comics. For the June 1983 issue of ''Heavy Metal'' he collaborated with Bhob Stewart and John Coffey on "Zenobia". Six months later, McManus and Stewart teamed with Jim McDermott on "Symbiosis", also in ''Heavy Metal'' (December 1983). He drew the Green Arrow backup feature in ''Detective Comics'' in 1983-1984. McManus gained wider attention when he illustrated two issues of ''The Saga of the Swamp Thing'' written by Alan Moore. McManus worked with writer Todd Klein on ''Omega Men'', creating Zirral and other characters for that series. He has drawn issues of ''Doctor Fate'' and ''Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight''.〔 He collaborated with Neil Gaiman on the "Fables & Reflections" and "A Game of You" story arcs in ''The Sandman''. McManus' other Sandman credits include ''The Sandman Presents: Taller Tales'' and a pair of limited series about the witch Thessaly written by Bill Willingham.〔 McManus' artwork for Marvel Comics includes ''Peter Parker: Spider-Man Annual '97'' and ''Daredevil'' #351.〔 In an interview, John Rozum, who scripted that issue of ''Daredevil'', recalled: :I thought Shawn McManus's art was great. I'd like to work with him again sometime, though we didn't really work together here. At the time I wrote it, I had no idea who'd be drawing it. Shawn and I have never even met or spoken with each other. I always write full script though, and unlike some other artists, Shawn actually pays attention to the script. I think his artwork was a nice pairing with the story. McManus has contributed to titles from a variety of other publishers, including Atomeka Press (''A1''), Dark Horse Comics (''Cheval Noir''), Exhibit A Press (''Wolff & Byrd: Counselors of the Macabre''), First Comics (''Grimjack''), Image Comics (''Supreme''), Malibu Comics (''The Man Called A-X''), and DC Comics' Paradox Press (''The Big Book Of Freaks''). He worked on Leah Moore and John Reppion's ''Wild Girl'' (Wildstorm, 2004–2005) with J. H. Williams III, about 13-year-old Rosa Torez who discovers that she can communicate with animals. In 2007, he did an eight-issue run on ''Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis'' and an issue of ''The Creeper'' for DC.〔 He illustrated ''Cinderella: From Fabletown with Love'' in 2010 and ''Cinderella: Fables Are Forever'' the following year. He was one of several artists to contribute to the ''Fairest in All the Land'' graphic novel. 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「Shawn McManus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
