Kim Yale (November 22, 1953 – March 7, 1997) was an American writer and editor of comic books for several comic book companies, including DC Comics, Eclipse Comics, First Comics, Marvel Comics, and WaRP Graphics. ==Biography== Yale was born in Evanston, Illinois, to the Reverend Richard A. Yale and Theresa Yale. Her father was a Navy chaplain which meant that for many years she and her family moved to various locations in the United States and abroad before resettling in Evanston during her teenage years. Yale's first published comics work appeared in 1987 in the ''New America'' limited series,〔 a spin-off of Timothy Truman's ''Scout'' series published by Eclipse Comics. She married a fellow comics creator, and frequent collaborator, John Ostrander the same year. Yale and Ostrander developed the character of Barbara Gordon into Oracle, and wrote her origin story in the short story "Oracle: Year One" published in ''The Batman Chronicles'' #5 (Summer 1996).〔 The two also co-wrote ''Manhunter'', a series which DC launched in the wake of the ''Millennium'' crossover.〔 Their collaboration on ''Suicide Squad'' included the "Janus Directive" storyline in issues #27-30 and the creation of the character Dybbuk in issue #45 (Sept. 1990). Yale served as an editor for DC from 1991–1993 and oversaw licensed titles such as ''Advanced Dungeons and Dragons'', ''Dragonlance'', ''Forgotten Realms'', ''Star Trek'' and ''Star Trek: The Next Generation''. She was also heavily involved with the Friends of Lulu, an organization promoting women in comics, working as a member of the board. Yale wrote an ongoing column in the ''Comics Buyer's Guide'', in which she detailed her battle against breast cancer. The Kimberly Yale Award for Best New Talent has been named in her honor. Yale died of breast cancer in 1997, aged 43. 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「Kim Yale」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
