Walter Simonson : ウィキペディア英語版
Walt Simonson

Walter "Walt" Simonson (born September 2, 1946) is an American comic book writer and artist, best known for a run on Marvel Comics' ''Thor'' from 1983 to 1987, during which he created the character Beta Ray Bill. He is also known for the creator-owned work ''Star Slammers'', which he inaugurated in 1972 as a Rhode Island School of Design thesis. He has also worked on other Marvel titles such as ''X-Factor'' and ''Fantastic Four'', on DC Comics books including ''Detective Comics'', ''Manhunter'', ''Metal Men'' and ''Orion'', and on licensed properties such as ''Star Wars'', ''Alien'', ''Battlestar Galactica'' and ''Robocop vs. Terminator''.
Simonson has won numerous awards for his work and has influenced artists such as Arthur Adams and Todd McFarlane.
He is married to comics writer Louise Simonson (née Alexander, née Jones), with whom he collaborated on ''X-Factor'' from 1988 to 1989, and with whom he made a cameo appearance in the 2011 ''Thor'' feature film.
==Early life==
Walter Simonson was born September 2, 1946 in Knoxville, Tennessee, and lived there for two and a half years. When his father, who worked for the United States Department of Agriculture, received a promotion at work that required him to relocate to Washington, D.C., Simonson, his younger brother and his parents moved to Maryland, where Simonson's parents still lived as of 1989.〔May, Peggie (Editor) (June 1989). "People at Work". ''Direct Currents'' #18. DC Comics. p. 7〕 Simonson first read comics as a child, through the subscriptions to ''Walt Disney's Comics and Stories'' that his brother had. By the age of ten he was an avid fan of the work of Carl Barks, ''Little Lulu'', ''Little Iodine'', and Alex Toth's work on ''The Land Unknown''.〔 He also enjoyed drawing from a very young age.〔Although Simonson was embarrassed to be seen by girls buying comics while in high school, he discovered Russ Manning's work on ''Magnus Robot Fighter'' right before he started college, and submitted a drawing that was printed in issue #10 in May, 1965, in the publication's fan page, "Robot Gallery." This was his first published work in comics.〔
Simonson studied geology at Amherst College, with the intent of becoming an expert on dinosaurs.〔 In 1964 or 1965, Simonson discovered Marvel Comics, in particular that company's version of ''Thor'', a title he read for four years.〔〔 From this he realized that drawing comics was more fun, and more feasible as a career than working outdoors in hot weather as a geologist or paleontologist, despite harboring a love for the latter that continued the rest of his life.〔〔Bell, Josh (2011). ("A Thousand Pages of Thor: Thor by Walter Simonson Omnibus, by Walter Simonson ’68 (Marvel Comics)" ). Amherst College.〕 Simonson came to be heavily influenced by the artists who worked for Marvel, such as Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Gil Kane and Jim Holdaway, as well as European artists such as Moebius, Jean-Claude Mézières, Antonio Hernandez Palacios and Sergio Toppi.〔
After graduating from Amherst with a degree in Geology,〔 Simonson took a year off, and then enrolled as an art major at the Rhode Island School of Design, graduating in 1972. His thesis project there was the 50-page black and white book ''The Star Slammers'', which took him two years to write, pencil, letter and ink himself, and was published a sort of ashcan promotional comic book for the 1974 World Science Fiction Convention in Washington, D.C. (DisCon II). Simonson would later revisit ''Star Slammers'' throughout his career, publishing it through various publishers over the decades.〔〔
