Brian K. Vaughan

Brian K. Vaughan (born July 17, 1976) is an American comic book and television writer, best known for the comic book series '' Y: The Last Man'', '' Ex Machina'', '' Runaways'', ''Pride of Baghdad'', ''Saga'', and '' Paper Girls''.

Vaughan was a writer, story editor and producer of the television series ''Lost'' during seasons three through five. He was nominated for a Writers Guild of America Award for Best Dramatic Series at the February 2009 ceremony for his work on the fourth season. The writing staff was nominated for the award again at the February 2010 ceremony for their work on the fifth season. He was formerly the showrunner and executive producer of the TV series '' Under the Dome''. Wolk, Douglas (August 5, 2013). "Masters of the Universe. The space story ''Saga'' is the comic world's big hit". ''Time''. p. 54.

''Wired'' describes Vaughan's comics work as "quirky, acclaimed stories that don't pander and still pound pulses". His creator-owned comics work is also characterized by "finite, meticulous, years-long story arcs", on which Vaughan comments, "That's storytelling, with a beginning, a middle, and an end. Something like Spider-Man, a book that never has a third act, that seems crazy."Rogers, Adam (April 24, 2007)

Vaughan and his older brother are both fans of writer Peter David, and according to Vaughan, their adolescent comics reading was largely defined by a shared love of David's 12-year run on ''The Incredible Hulk''. Vaughan also cites Joss Whedon as the reason he wanted to become a writer,Heyman, Marshall (February 17, 2008)
"The Last Man Exits"
''The New York Times''. a decision he made while attending St. Ignatius High School, from which he graduated in 1994.

Vaughan attended the New York University Tisch School of the Arts to study film. While a student there, Vaughan took part in Marvel Comics's Stan-hattan Project, a class for fledgling comic book writers.

Career

Vaughan's first credit was for Marvel Comics' '' Tales from the Age of Apocalypse'' #2 (December 1996). He would eventually write for some of the highest-profile characters at Marvel, including X-Men, Spider-Man, and Captain America. He would also write Batman and Green Lantern for DC Comics, and ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight'' for Dark Horse Comics.

From 2002 to 2008, Vaughan, who came to prefer writing his own characters,Bendis, Brian Michael (July 25, 2006)

Wizard World. wrote the creator-owned monthly series '' Y: The Last Man'', a post-apocalyptic science fiction series about the only man to survive the apparent simultaneous death of every male mammal on Earth. The series was published in sixty issues by Vertigo and collected in a series of ten paperback volumes (and later a series of five hardcover "Deluxe" volumes). The series received Eisner Awards in 2005 and 2008, and numerous other nominations."2005 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards"
Hahn Library Comic Book Awards Almanac. Retrieved March 17, 2012."Eisner Awards Celebrate the 'Magic of Comics'"
. San Diego Comic-Con International. Retrieved March 17, 2012. The film rights to the series were acquired by New Line Cinema. Vaughan wrote his own screenplay for the project, though it was reported in March 2012 that Matthew Federman and Stephen Scaia were in final negotiations to write their own version.

In 2006, Vaughan published the graphic novel ''Pride of Baghdad'', which centers on a group of lions who escape from an Iraqi zoo after the start of the Iraq War. The book was praised by IGN, who named it the Best Original Graphic Novel of 2006, calling it a "modern classic", lauding it for combining a tale of survival and family with a powerful analogy of war, and praising Vaughan for representing various viewpoints through the different lion characters."Best of 2006: Best Original Graphic Novel"
IGN. Retrieved March 17, 2012.

From 2004 to 2010 Vaughan wrote another creator-owned series, '' Ex Machina'', a political thriller that depicts the life of Mitchell Hundred, a former superhero known as the Great Machine who, in the wake of his heroism during the September 11, 2001 attacks, is elected Mayor of New York City. The story is set during Hundred's term in office, and interwoven with flashbacks to his past as the Great Machine. Through this, the series explores both the political situations Hundred finds himself in, and the mysteries surrounding his superpowers. New Line Cinema purchased the film rights to the series in July 2005, and commissioned Vaughan to write one of the two commissioned scripts, which he was reported to be working on in 2007. Following the conclusion of ''Ex Machina'' in 2010, Vaughan reiterated his previous statement that he would concentrate on creator-owned work, saying, "I realized when I turned in this final ''Ex Machina'' script that it would be the first time I wasn't under some kind of deadline at Marvel or DC since 1996. That's a huge chunk of my life to spend with those characters. I love them, and I still read Marvel and DC's superhero books. I just think I'm better when I'm working on my own creations. When there are so many talented creators out there who are better at that stuff than me, I should leave those characters to them. I should do what I'm fortunate enough to be in the position to do, which is to create more new stuff."

Vaughan was a writer, executive story editor and producer for seasons 3 to 5 on the ABC TV series ''Lost'', a job he earned on the basis of his work on ''Y: The Last Man'', of which ''Lost'' co-creator and executive producer Damon Lindelof was an ardent fan. Lindelof showed that book to series showrunner and executive producer Carlton Cuse. Lindelof relates, "And I told him, 'We need a guy like this on the show, but I don't think he'd ever do it. I don't think he even works in L.A.' And the next thing we knew, he was on the show." He began his stint on the series as executive story editor with the episode "The Man from Tallahassee", which premiered in March 2007. Vaughan continued as story editor on several episodes until he began writing episodes, beginning with the episode "Catch-22", which Vaughan co-wrote with Jeff Pinkner'' writer Erik Malinowski, who stated that the themes that Vaughan carried over to ''Lost'' from his comics work, including intricately weaved storylines typified by pathos and hope, as well as pop culture references, redeemed that series' third season.

Vaughan would write a total of 7 episodes, the last of which was the April 2009 episode " Dead Is Dead". He was first credited as a producer with the fourth-season premiere " The Beginning of the End", eventually acting as producer on a total of 29 episodes. He was also a co-producer on '' Lost: Missing Pieces'', a spinoff Internet short film series produced during the hiatus between the show's third and fourth seasons.

In November 2011 Steven Spielberg selected Vaughan to adapt the Stephen King novel '' Under the Dome'' into a television series for Showtime, which is Vaughan's first television work since ''Lost''. Vaughan was the showrunner and executive producer of the series. He exited the show before the second season premiered in 2014.Goldberg, Lesley (June 10, 2014)

The series depicts two aliens from warring races trying to survive with their newborn daughter. The book is Vaughan's first publication for Image Comics, and represents the first time he has employed first-person narration in his comics writing. The first issue sold out of its first printing ahead of its March 14 release date, with a second printing ordered for April 11, the same release date for issue #2."THE START OF AN EPIC SAGA SELLS OUT: SAGA #1 gets a second printing"

It has also appeared on the ''New York Times'' Graphic Books Best Seller List, won three 2013 Eisner Awards, won a Hugo Award and was nominated for seven Harvey Awards.

In March 2013, Vaughan published the first issue of '' The Private Eye'' with artist Marcos Martín on Panel Syndicate, a pay-what-you-want host for their creative efforts. Panel Syndicate offers DRM-Free comics available for purchase/download for whatever price readers wish to pay. Through Panel Syndicate, Vaughan and Martin published 10 issues of ''The Private Eye'' and released the first issue of ''Barrier'' in late 2015.

At the Image Expo in January 2015, it was announced that Vaughan would release two new books through Image Comics in 2015: '' Paper Girls'' with Cliff Chiang and Matthew Wilson, and ''We Stand On Guard'' with Steve Skroce.

Personal life

Vaughan and his wife, a native of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and playwright, live in Los Angeles. They have two children and a pet Dachshund named Hamburger that has been repeatedly referenced as Vaughan's aide in selecting letters for the ''Saga'' letter column. Hamburger has also appeared in an illustration of Vaughan and Fiona Staples that was included in a 2013 ''Time'' magazine story on ''Saga''.
