Sonny Trinidad," ) ''Comic Book Resources'' (Nov. 26, 2009).〕 was a Filipino comics artist who worked in the Filipino and American comic book industries. In the U.S., he is mostly known for his work for Marvel Comics in the mid-1970s. ==Career== Trinidad began his professional career as an assistant for the "Dean of Philippine Comics," Francisco Coching, and Trinidad's style bore a similarity to Choching's.〔 Trinidad's first professional credits appeared in the late 1960s, among them illustrating novelist Marcial Buanno’s ''Guido Mortal'' and ''Arkong Bato''.〔Lapena, Carmela G. ("In memoriam: 2009 was a year of great loss in RP," ) ''GMA News'' online (Dec. 31, 2009).〕 Trinidad co-created the Filipino superheroes El Gato (with writer Mike Tan)〔("Sonny Trinidad," ) Lambiek Comiclopedia. Accessed June 23, 2014.〕 and Inday sa Balitaw (with writer Pablo S. Gomez). Along with a number of other Filipino comics creators, in the 1970s Trinidad found work in the American comics industry, initially for DC Comics on such titles as ''The Witching Hour'', ''House of Mystery'', ''The Unexpected'', and ''Weird Western Tales''.〔(Trinidad entry ), ''Who's Who of American Comic Books, 1928–1999''. Accessed June 22, 2014.〕 It was in the U.S. that he began using the pen name "Sonny" Trinidad. Trinidad really made his mark when he moved to Marvel in 1974. Given the moniker "Slammin' Sonny Trinidad" in "Marvel Bullpen Bulletins,"〔"Marvel Bullpen Bulletins," comics cover-dated December 1974.〕 Trinidad supplied full art or inks over other artists (frequently John Romita, Sr. and John Buscema) on horror titles like ''Vampire Tales'' (Morbius the Living Vampire stories written by Doug Moench), ''Dracula Lives!'', ''Marvel Chillers'', and ''The Son of Satan'', as well as fantasy and adventure titles like ''Skull the Slayer'', ''The Savage Sword of Conan'', and ''Deadly Hands of Kung Fu''. Other highlights of Trinidad's tenure at Marvel included "Hellfire Helix Hex!," written by John Warner, for ''Marvel Presents'' #2 (Dec. 1975); in addition, Trinidad inked the feature story (written by Bill Mantlo and penciled by Tom Sutton) in ''Man From Atlantis'' #1 (Feb. 1978). Trinidad was often hired to do adaptations. One of his biggest commissions was the 1975 magazine-sized black-and-white one-shot ''Marvel Movie Premiere'', which featured his and writer Marv Wolfman's adaptation of the 1975 movie ''The Land That Time Forgot''. With writer Roy Thomas and penciler John Buscema, Trinidad adapted Robert E. Howard's "The Pool of the Black One" in ''Savage Sword of Conan'' #22–23 (Sept-Oct. 1977). And with writer Doug Moench, Trinidad adapted H. G. Wells' ''The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth'' for ''Marvel Classics Comics'' #22 (1977). By around 1990, Trinidad had returned to the world of Filipino komiks, with contributions to the horror comic book ''Holiday'' (a.k.a. ''Zuriga''). In 1995, Trinidad supplied painted covers for the short-lived series ''Lastikman Komiks''. Trinidad was diagnosed with cancer in December 2008 and died about a year later. He was survived by his sister Josephine and his daughter Cherry Trinidad. 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「Sonny Trinidad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
