''Thief of Thieves'' is a monthly comic book series published by Image Comics' Skybound imprint which premiered in 2012. Created by Robert Kirkman, the comic centers on Conrad Paulson, a highly successful thief who quits the business and begins a new life stealing from other thieves. The series will feature a rotation of writers, including Nick Spencer on the first story arc, and art by Shawn Martinbrough. The first three issues sold out upon release, and a television series based on the comic is in development at AMC. ==Publication history== At the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con, ''Thief of Thieves'' was announced as one of the titles that would help launch Robert Kirkman's Skybound, an imprint of Image Comics.〔 〕〔 〕 A year later, Kirkman told ''USA Today'' that working on AMC's ''The Walking Dead'' television series influenced his approach on co-writing ''Thief of Thieves'': "Having worked on the ''Walking Dead'' TV show, I've really fallen in love with the way that TV shows are written, where a bunch of people get together and they plot stuff and people split off into their own little splinter groups and write episodes," he said. "I think that's a really neat way to tell stories and something that could be utilized in comics more often."〔 〕 Kirkman put together a team of four other writers, beginning with Nick Spencer, to rotate different story arcs.〔 〕〔 〕 The second arc, which begins with the eighth issue, will be written by James Asmus.〔 〕 Shawn Martinbrough is the book's permanent artist.〔 Kirkman wanted Spencer to write the first arc because of his "knack for good and interesting dialogue," and liked Martinbrough's "cinematic flare" and ability to "portray characters realistically." The series debuted on February 8, 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「Thief of Thieves」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
