James Vance (born April 2, 1953) is an American comic book writer, author and playwright, best known for his work from Kitchen Sink Press and in particular the lauded ''Kings in Disguise''. ==Biography== Vance's introduction into comics writing came in 1988, with his Kitchen Sink-published limited series, ''Kings in Disguise'', later collected by W. W. Norton, with an introduction by the legendary Alan Moore, who calls it: :"One of the most moving and compelling human stories to emerge out of the graphic story medium."〔(WW Norton's ''Kings in Disguise'' listing ). Accessed March 19, 2008〕 This work, with art by Dan Burr, earned both a Harvey Award and an Eisner Award (both 1989) for best new series, as well as another Eisner Award for best single issue/story (also 1989). It also made the list of the one hundred best comic book stories of all time.〔Weiner, Stephen. ''The 101 Best Graphic Novels'' (NBM, 2005).〕 In 2013, Vance and Burr published ''On the Ropes'', the long-awaited sequel to ''Kings in Disguise''. ''On the Ropes'' was positively reviewed by, among others, the ''Los Angeles Times'',〔Ulin, David L. (The Reading Life: James Vance and Dan E. Burr's new graphic novel goes to the circus," ) ''Los Angeles Times'' (March 5, 2013).〕 ''Publishers Weekly'',〔("On the Ropes," ) ''Publishers Weekly'' (August 27, 2012).〕 and writer Alan Moore.〔("About," ) Dan Burr's official website. Accessed January 17, 2014.〕 Vance also wrote Neil Gaiman's ''Mr. Hero the Newmatic Man'' for Tekno Comix in the mid-1990s, and was co-editor of Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie's ''Lost Girls'' as originally serialised by Kitchen Sink Press. He has also contributed scripts towards comics featuring ''The Crow'', and the Dark Horse Comics-published licensed properties ''Aliens'' and ''Predator''. Vance was married to cartoonist Kate Worley for the last ten years of her life before she succumbed to cancer〔Dueben, Alex . ("James Vance is 'On the Ropes'," ) ''Comic Book Resource'' (March 13, 2013).〕 in 2004. After Worley's death, Vance edited and completed (with artist Reed Waller) the final chapters of her ''Omaha the Cat Dancer'' strip, which were serialized in ''Sizzle'' magazine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Omaha the Cat Dancer )〕 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「James Vance (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
